About the Artist:
Robert Longo (B.1953)
Robert Longo burst onto the New York art sceneas a brash 25-year-old with “Men in the Cities,” his iconic 1983 large-scalecharcoal drawings of businessmen posing in uncanny contortions. “I alwaysimagine that I want to make art that is going to kill you,” he said in 1984.“Whether it’s going to do it visually or physically, I’ll take either way.”Longo works and reworks his charcoal into thick-textured surfaces, giving his velvetydrawings deep, blackened expanses and sharply contrasting whites; his forms areat once representational and softly elusive.
Having been fascinated with popular culture as a child, Longocenters his practice on transposing images and the resulting transformation ofmeaning, linking him with the Pictures Generation. “An artist should know arthistory,” he says. “Shock value only lasts so long.” His recent works haveincluded series depicting women in burkas, ocean waves, nuclear explosions, views of SigmundFreud’s apartment, and zoo animals in cages.
