Robert Longo is an American artist and Pictures Generation master celebrated for monumental, hyper-detailed charcoal drawings exploring power, authority, media violence, and cultural vertigo. Famous for his breakthrough 1980s Men in the Cities series, his velvety charcoal works depict roaring oceans, nuclear detonations, and political protests with cinematic grandeur.
