Dedé Wolff
Dedé Wolff & Astor Piazzolla
Dedé Wolff (Odette Maria Wolff, 1923-2010 ), is a painter who studied with Argentine surrealist Vicente Forte. Dedé and Astor were married and had two children, Diana and Daniel. In 1954 they traveled to Paris on a Fabian Sevitsky prize and scholarship award from the French government where, the painter completed her studies under the tutelage of the celebrated cubist Andre Lohte. Dedé Wolff's intimate but intense treatment of Piazzolla as her primary subject matter continued throughout her life, as a testament to the mark left on her by this relationship, which was just as profound as her own influence on the musical genius that created Nuevo Tango.

Lulu Michelli de Ferrer
Lulú Michelli & Horacio Ferrer
Lulú Michelli de Ferrer is an Argentine surrealist painter, illustrator, actor and the widow of Horacio Ferrer, Piazzolla's lyricist and co-creator of Nuevo Tango who was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Lulú illustrated numerous volumes of poetry and literature published by Ferrer. Her treatment of different tanguero subjects, including paintings, drawings, illustrations, posters and set design reflect the surrealist aesthetic which accompanied the revolutionary and progressive style of Nuevo Tango. Her works match in intensity and creativity the elevated poetry and prose of Ferrer’s writing.
