Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan paid tribute to Robert Wilson, who passed away at 83. Waits reflected on over 40 years of collaboration and friendship with Wilson, noting his unique artistic vision and ability to transform the theatrical experience. They worked together on multiple projects, including stage adaptations of "The Black Rider" and operas inspired by classics like "Alice in Wonderland". Wilson's collaborations spanned across various artists, showcasing his influence and ability to connect with others through intricate and imaginative work.
Over 40 years of loving Bob and still he astounds. His vodka paintbrush of absurdity, vaudeville, heartbreak and forgiveness and imagination of the infinite is still wet and painting backdrops backwards behind the Mirror into the wee hours of the morning of his opening night! We will always be suspended in his orbit.
No one could paint like Bob with light. He collaborated with great lighting designers who patiently, arduously, took his elaborately detailed visions and precise instructions into the days that became nights.
Bob was among the artists who see, feel, hear, and sense the world in a way that most people cannot even begin to fathom.
His creative contributions spanned decades, influencing generations of artists across various mediums, leaving behind an enduring legacy of innovation and exploration.
