"Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)"-- Robert Rauschenberg, 1959Elegy for Robert Rauschenberg is an homage to an artist who was my personal hero, and my nemesis, in my student years. He was my hero because of the infallibility of his touch, and the constancy of his ability to invent and re-invent the potency and power of visual art — to push the boundaries of what art could be. He was my nemesis because I saw him as pure genius and his every gesture as perfection — conditions that were not, I thought, possible for others to attain. But my joy and delight in his work continued and my pleasure in talking with him from time to time over the years was enormous.Curated by Paul Schimmel, Robert Rauchenberg: Combines was shown in early 2006 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. On seeing it there, and upon learning that there were no plans to film it, I asked Bob for permission to do so at the next venue, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.This elegy is dedicated to the memory of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) and to the memory of his friendship with my late husband, Earle Brown (1926-2002), whose music has been intertwined and juxtaposed here with images of the glorious Combines.Susan Sollins-BrownExecutive DirectorArt21Elegy for Robert Rauschenberg has been created from footage filmed by Art21 at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles during the 2006 exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg: Combines. Among the works seen in whole or in part are Minutiae (1954); Interview (1955); Monogram (1955-59); Canyon (1959); Gift for Apollo (1959); Black Market (1961); Empire II (1961); Pantomime (1961); Ace (1962); and Gold Standard (1964). The video is set to music composed by Earle Brown who, along with Rauschenberg, was a member of a small group of friends in the 1950s that included John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Morton Feldman, Jasper Johns, and Christian Wolff, among others. In the spirit of that long-ago friendship, and in the collaborative spirit of that time and group, excerpts from the following works by Brown have been selected and collaged, with permission of The Earle Brown Music Foundation, for this video: Music for Violin, Cello, &Piano (1952); Octet I (1953); Folio and 4 Systems (1954); String Quartet (1965); New Piece (1971); and Special Events (1999).VIDEO | Producer: Susan Sollins.

ARNO H. BABADJANIAN Né le 22 janvier 1921 à Erevan (Republique d´Arménie), ARNO H. BABADJANIAN a été lauréat du Conservatoire Gomidas de cette ville en 1947 et a étudié la classe de piano du Conservatoire Tchaikovsky de Moscou en 1948.De 1950 à 1957, il prit la classe de piano du Conservatoire d'etat de Erevan en tant que professeur. Dès 1957, il se dévoua complètement à la composition.La réputation de Babadjanian en tant que compositeur fut révélée très tôt et ce depuis les années 1940.En 1957 il fut honoré comme lauréat au Festival Des Jeunes Étudiants à Prague (Tchécoslovaquie) pour sa composition "Suite de pièces pour piano". Il atteint sa vraie maturité en 1950 avec sa "BALLADE HEROIQUE" (Concerto pour piano et orchestre) et ensuite il gagna un Prix de l' Etat avec son « Trio de piano, violon et violoncelle », sa « Sonate pour violon et piano », le « Concerto pour alto », six « Images pour piano solo » et surtout son troisieme « Quatuor pour cordes » dédié à Chostakovitch (1976).En tant que pianiste Babadjanian avait un talent exceptionnel, ne jouant pas uniquement ses propres œuvres, mais il fut également un brillant interprète de Rachmaninov, Chopin et Van Beethoven.Le talent d'Arno Babadjanian s'exprime le plus pleinement dans la musique instrumentale et la musique de chambre. Au piano, Babadjanian a une envergure proprement rachmaninovienne, et sa palette étincelle de couleurs peu communes. Babadjanian pianiste est le fidèle conseiller de Babadjanian compositeur.Ses œuvres pour piano - la "Sonate polyphonique" (1947), un "Capriccio" (1951), les Six Tableaux op. 40 (1965), un "Poème" (1966), la "Ballade Héroïque" pour piano et orchestre (1950), un "Trio pour piano, violin et cello" (1953) et la "Elegie in Memoriam Aram Khatchatourian" (1978)- appartiennent aux meilleures pages de la littérature nationale pour piano. Elles font partie du répertoire des interprètes aussi bien russes qu'étrangers. Une certaine largeur de vues, l'intensité de l'émotion, une force élémentaire assagie par l'intelligence, ces traits, caractéristiques de l'œuvre de Babadjanian, enchantent de nombreux amateurs de son art. Arno Babadjanian est aussi largement connu en tant que chansonnier. Pourtant, c'est ce qu'il a écrit de meilleur dans le genre sérieux qui lui a valu la renommée d'un des plus brillants représentants de la musique soviétique. Son œuvre fut hautement récompensé par l'Etat d'Arménie, avec le prix «Lénine», le titre «d'Artiste Du Peuple», et lauréat de nombreux prix de l'Etat d'Arménie.Pour finir, il a été élu plusieurs fois en tant que membre du Comite De L'Union Des Compositeurs Arméniens.Le monde de la musique academique a éprouvé une grande perte avec la mort de A. Babadjanian le 15 novembre 1983.Traduit par Sahag Doroumian [ More Detail ]
