Биография артиста Robert Rutman's Steel Cello Ensemble

Rutman As He Liked To Be Called In The 70's When I Knew Him Was Born In Berlin Germany On May 15 1931. He Escaped With His Mother To Poland And Later England During The Nazi Regime. He Moved To The United States In 1951 And Studied Art. He Spent Four Years In Mexico 1958-1962 Where He Met The Musician Dorothy Carter B.1934-D.2003 . They Became Life-Long Friends And Rutman Was The Godfather Of Dorothy's Two Children Justin And Celeste. In 1966 Rutman Opened A Gallery In Manhattan Called "A Bird Can Fly But A Fly Can't Bird." It Was Here That He Built The Prototype For The Bow Chime And The Steel Cello. He Created Huge Sculptures Out Of Sheet Metal And Rods And Then Discovered That He Could Play Music On Them Either By Using A Bow Or Just By Shaking The Metal.... Later He Added Tibetan Style Chanting To The Mix. The Next Year Tired Of City Life He Moved With A Group Of His New York Friends To West Athens Maine. Here He Had A Multi-Media Gallery Until 1972. He Built His Own House A Wonderful House That Was Very Unconventional A Sculpture Almost. He "planted" A Garden Of Six Foot Metal Flower Sculptures. In 1975 He Formed The U.S. Steel Cello Ensemble. He Moved To Cambridge Massachusetts In 1976 And Published His First Album "Sounds Of Nothing." He Had A Tail-Wagging Faithful Dog Named Rutdog. He Lived In His Studio In Monk-Like Fashion A Minimalist With Only A Sleeping Roll On The Floor And A Few Cooking Utensils. He Remained In Cambridge Until 1985 Playing Music And Painting Large Religious-Themed Murals. Rutman Loved "smoke " Good Beer Religion And Women He Hated Tofu. He Had One Son From A Marriage In The 60's In New York . They Reunited In The Early Eighties In Cambridge And Spent A Great Amount Of Time Together. In 1985 Rutman Returned To Berlin The City Of His Birth. Always The Starving Artist In Cambridge Rutman At Last Received The Acclaim That He Deserved In Germany. He Was Joined There Often By His Old Friend Dorothy Carter Who Was Mainly Residing In New Orleans Louisiana At The Time . Hopefully He Still Resides There Though I Lost Touch Years Ago And Can't Find Any Info On Him After 1999. If Rutman Still Roams This Earth He Will Be 79 Years Old On May 15th. Here's Hoping That Wherever He Is He Has Music Art A Mug Of Good Beer A "smoke " And A Women On Each Arm. And To Rutdog Wherever You Are Your Owner Was One Of The Best.... Here's To The Old Days And To The Ping Of The Radiator In The Place On Broadway In Cambridge Which To Rutman Was Beautiful Music....
