People like to goof on John Cage's 4'33" for being a gag or too pretentious, but he was really trying to force audiences to sit with this dynamic and understand it
Unrelated, but I recently saw In the Loge by Mary Cassatt at an exhibit in Minneapolis and it reminded me of your thoughtful article about it. CULTURE! Thank you for championing observation.
