Robert Longo (b. 1953, Brooklyn, NY) is an American artist known for large-scale charcoal drawings that transform photographs into dramatic, hyperreal images. Emerging in New York’s Pictures Generation in the late 1970s, Longo explores power, media, violence, and collective memory through subjects ranging from suited figures and waves to firearms, animals, and political events. His work is held in major museum collections worldwide and he lives and works in New York.
