Taylor 2:
Taylor, Rauschenberg
and Mid-Century Modern
* Wednesday, February 13
* 8 - 9:30 pm
* Easton, PA
When Paul Taylor began making dances in 1954, his early, experimental work was influenced by a close collaboration with artist Robert Rauschenberg. Together they created 17 pieces, some of which were nearly lost to time until meticulously reconstructed and unveiled anew. With commentary by art historian Robert S. Mattison, Taylor 2 sheds new light on the duo’s seminal and rarely-seen 3 Epitaphs (1956) and Tracer (1962), as well as Junction (1961) and Party Mix (1963), works Taylor made with like-minded artists of the avant-garde, Alex Katz and Nancy Azara.

Németh fearlessly crushes all barriers of style and genre with an album of original songs that defies all the usual pigeonholes. Drawing from his strong influences in blues and R&B, as well as contemporary sounds in hip-hop and rock & roll, John creates music that is personal as well as universal, and owes its origin to no one but John Németh. John’s songs are groove and melody-driven, laced with thoughtful lyrics and nuanced humor.
