The graphic and authoritative drawings of Robert Longo, born on this day in 1953, capture a zeitgeist. Created in the 1980s, Longo’s famous series of large-scale drawings of dapper men and women in contorted poses became metaphors for the “yuppie culture” of 1980s New York City. Longo has stated that being an artist effectively means being a reporter for the time that you live in.

Avant Arte on Instagram: "Nearly half a century on, @robert_longo_studio’s ‘Men in the Cities’ series is just as relevant today. “I always wanted them to be like a guitar chord in a Sex Pistols song – an abstract symbol.” ‘Untitled (Eric)’ honours this tremendous legacy with a new silkscreen edition launching in support of @louisianamuseum on 30 April.

How did Robert Longo become an artist? The answer includes a trip to Sicily and, more surprisingly, an unfortunate incident with a pigeon in Florence. In the latest episode of Artforum’s Under the Influence series, Longo reflects on the moments and people who have shaped his career, from Douglas Crimp to Cindy Sherman and Jannis Kounellis. The artist also offers up a favorite artwork: Théodore Géricault’s 1818–19 painting The Raft of the Medusa, with its timely depiction of both despair and hope

How do media images affect people? Through his charcoal drawings, Robert Longo has long examined this question. Though based on images from various media sources, Longo’s meticulous drawings are not exact transcriptions. His drawings result in a new understanding of the image depicted, one which reflects his views on the subject matter’s significance and urgency. See nearly 40 of his works when “Robert Longo: The Acceleration of History” opens October 25. https://mam.org/exhibitions/acceleration

FairArt on Instagram: "Robert Longo is known for turning charcoal drawings into something cinematic. Since the late ’70s, he’s created large, hyper-detailed images - suited figures in motion, crashing waves, flags, weapons - that reflect the tension and spectacle of contemporary life. His work bridges drawing, photography, film and activism. “I always wanted to make art that was like a punch in the face.”"
