I am think- ing here of Allan Kaprow, John Cage, or George Maciunas. They sensed that the depictive arts could not be displaced by any more upheavals from within, any more radical versions of depic- tion or anti-depiction. They came to recognize that there was something about the depictive arts that would not permit an- other art form or art dimension to evolve out of them. The new challenge to western art would be advanced in terms of move- ment and the arts of movement. Cage’s piano concert, 4’33”, first presented in 1952, can be seen as the first explicit statement of this.
