Tango, a dance originating in Argentina that captivated hearts since 1912, transcends mere movement to become an affair between two souls entwined on the dance floor. Marcel Vertes' enchanting watercolor masterpiece published in his book "Tango" captures the raw intensity and sensuality of this forbidden liaison. Intrigue deepens as we delve into Stephen Ward's scandalous sketches of celebrities from 1960.
