Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John Cage was heavily influenced by Marcel Duchamp, particularly in his incorporation of chance into the creation of art, aligning with Cage's interest in Eastern philosophies that emphasize randomness and the lack of a single, fixed outcome. Duchamp's use of readymades and his questioning of the definition of art resonated with Cage's experimental approach to music and performance art.
