The American artist Robert Rauschenberg died Monday. He was multifaceted
and worked in many media, including photography, using his own photographs in
his work, which ranged from set designs for contemporary dance to paintings and
prints. He was not known for dancing tango but he obviously visited Buenos
Aires. On the front page of the Arts section of the New York Times this
morning
(Wed. 5/14) is his set design for one of Merce Cunningham's pieces,
"Interscape." The vivid cubistic area in the lower right corner of the
backdrop will
be familiar to most of us who dance tango...it is the colorful painted tin
facades of La Boca.
Cheers,
Charles
