ARTIST INFO
Selected works of art by Robert Longo
Born in Brooklyn (New York City) in 1953, Robert Longo works as a painter, sculptor, draftsman, photographer and director.
Robert Longo is one of the main protagonists of the so-called „Picture Generation“!
Robert Longo is one of the most important graphic artists of our time
In 1971 Robert Longo began his artistic training, a year later he received a scholarship and studied restoration and art history at the “Accademia di Belle Arti” in Florence. With the „Bachelor of Fine Arts“ he finished his studies at the „Art School“ in the „Buffalo State College“ in New York in 1975.
An artistically eventful time followed for Robert Longo, which he processed in his works. The speed and the perceived range between strength and rest, movement and silence will from now on always remain a theme of his work. People in „Men in the Cities“ or natural phenomena are brought to a standstill in motion.
Robert Longo’s works live on contrasts, fractions of a second lie between the motif and the apparently next movement – everything seems frozen in the moment. Materials are used ideally and reveal Longo’s technical and creative perfection as an artist.
The contemporary artist Robert Longo convinces the professional world with mostly large-format works of art
These are charcoal drawings with an outstanding level of detail, which are also implemented as graphics. In Robert Longo’s motifs the world seems to stand still for a moment, for example when a giant wave from the “Monsters” series seems to freeze at the moment of upheaval.
Robert Longo’s motif repertoire convinces art collectors and museum people around the world
The themes are monster waves, like sharks that appear to be mirrored at the moment, dramatically staged horses, tigers in an oversized close-up view, flags and, from time to time, people frozen in motion. Robert Longo’s tigers, wolves, sharks or horses and even the monster waves seem to want to jump out of the picture in the next moment.
Robert Longo is one of the main protagonists of the so-called „Picture Generation“
… which also includes Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince and Barbara Kruger. Robert Longo founded the “Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center” in Buffalo in the 1970s, together with Cindy Sherman and Nancy Dwyer.
