Went to @louisianamuseum.bsky.social for their exhibition Havet ( ocean ). Got a great Robert Longo exhibition as a surprise bonus.

Havet is closing in 10 days, but Longo is open throughout summer.

This weekend, I visited the Milwaukee Art Museum and was captivated by Robert Longo's photorealistic charcoal drawings. The meticulous detail and evocative imagery were truly inspiring. #photography #panorama #robertlongo #photorealism #artappreciation @milwaukeeart.bsky.social

Study of Greenland Iceberg by Robert Longo, 2020 (ink and charcoal on vellum)
#robertlongo #art #contemporaryart #drawing #climatechange

The image is a black and white, hyperrealistic charcoal drawing. The artwork depicts a massive, jagged iceberg rising from the dark water, with deep shadows and bright white areas creating a dramatic contrast.
Longo's work often addresses the human impact on nature.

August's theme: Baby Boomer Artists
ROBERT LONGO (born 1953), “Untitled (Eric)”, from his “Men in the Cities” series, 1980. [Charcoal drawing]
Gangsta! (see ALT for backstory)
#arthistory #art #BabyBoomerArtist #RobertLongo #drawing

Inspired by a gangster movie, Longo took a group of his friends (including Cindy Sherman and Larry Gagosian) up to the roof top of his New York studio and proceeded to pummel them with tennis balls, snapping photos of their movements and reactions. From this escapade came his “Men in the Cities”, a series of 60 large hyper-realistic drawings made with charcoal and graphite. Although the goal was to capture how a body might look after being sprayed with a tommy gun, Longo’s men and women – all dressed in traditional business attire – appear to be contorted more like punk rock dancers! The large-scale drawings, in stark black and white against a pure white background, are very theatrical and, when seen in a grouping, they visually move/dance across the wall. A leading voice in the “Pictures Generation” group of artists, Longo’s productions have a political edge reflecting his long involvement with underground culture and anti-establishment philosophy. He works in drawing, photography, performance and film.

Cool guy. I remember Robert Longo‘s installation All You Zombies - Truth before God, which I saw at the Documenta in Kassel. I was 17 years old at the time. And very impressed. Later I saw his film Johnny Mnemonic. By the way, Longo was married to Barbara Sukowa. How cool is that?
