Robert Longo is an American artist born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his large-scale charcoal drawings of iconic images from popular culture, such as guns, explosions, and political figures.Longo's work is often associated with the art movement known as "Neo-Expressionism," which emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in response to the minimalist and conceptual art of the previous decade. His work has been exhibited widely in galleries and museums around the world, and he has also worked as a filmmaker, directing music videos and feature films.Some of Longo's most famous works include his "Men in the Cities" series, which features sharply-dressed men and women in contorted poses, and his "Wave" series, which depicts massive waves in charcoal and graphite.
