But a number of 20th century artists have turned this notion on its head by attempting to create artworks based on randomness. Among those, three in particular articulated a well-argued and thorough theory of the radical use of chance in art: André Breton (writer), John Cage (composer) and François Morellet (visual artist). The implications of such a move away from established aesthetics are far-reaching, as much in conceptual as in practical terms, as this book hopes to make clear. Of paramount importance in this coincidentia oppositorum is the suggested possibility of a correlation between the artistic use of chance and a system of thought itself organised around chance. Indeed placing randomness at the centre of one’s art may have deeper philosophical consequences than just on the aesthetical level.Faux titre ;no. 366.Chance in artArts, Modern20th centuryElectronic books.Chance in art.Arts, Modern702.81Lejeune Denis954395MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462420903321The radical use of chance in 20th century art2158647UNINA
