Canto Ostinato and The Canto Collection.
Independently of each other, Simeon ten Holt (Dutch composer 1923-2012) and Rob Møhlmann created, under a similar title, a musical and painted representation of the same, constantly recurring, but always slightly different, theme. The two artists did not know each other or each other's work, but spoke to one-another by telephone much later, around 2003. In 2014 and 2016, Møhlmann organized performances of De Canto Ostinato in his own museum, while the public could view the Canto Collection at the same time.
The can
The can itself exists, dates from 1982 and was bought in a supermarket in Amsterdam-Zuid. Almost all Western cans at that time were already fitted with a ribbed profile (which gives more strength), but a few imported cans from Asia, for example, kept the smooth hull a little longer. One of them became the model for the Canto series.
