This is a limited edition release of an Aldo Luongo giclee on canvas, titled "Al Compás del Tango". Aldo Luongo brings to the viewer the exciting and tantalizing dance of Argentina...the Tango. The Spanish translation of "Al Compás del Tango" is "The Beat of the Tango" and as everyone knows, there is no more risqué and intriguing dance than the Tango , whose beat is easily recognizable. The work features an intense couple on the cobblestone streets of perhaps Buenos Aires, at night with the focus of the work being the couple themselves. Just the positioning of the woman's right leg and foot tells the entire story of this dance, extremely well.
The “tango” was developed in African-Argentine dance venues. What is clear was that tango was considered a dance from the poor barrios. Although proper society looked down upon the activities in the barrios, well-heeled sons of the porteño oligarchy found this dance and brought it to high society.
The worldwide spread of the tango came in the early 1900s when wealthy sons of Argentine society families made their way to Paris and introduced the tango into a society eager for innovation and not entirely averse to the risqué nature of the dance or dancing with young, wealthy Latin men.
Aldo Luongo is known for his portraits of the Hawk, landscapes, dance, romantic couples in the park and of women. This is yet another expression of his dance themes. He is able to place you there in the night watching this young couple dance the Tango.
