{"product_id":"66285-robert-longo-charcoal-volume-2","title":"Robert Longo: Charcoal Volume 2","description":"Charcoal Volume 2 presents the impressive charcoal drawings of American artist Robert Longo. The large-format, elaborately designed catalog picks up where the first volume left off and brings together works from 2012 to the present day. Together, they form a comprehensive compendium of the series, which is central to the oeuvre of the legendary New York artist. \u003cbr\u003eEssays by Tim Griffin and Haley Mellin explain the context of the existential questions of our time, which are at the heart of Longo's new, large-format, hyperrealistic drawings. With light and shadow, he masterfully creates impressive depth and unexpected dimensions in his artistic engagement with war, violence, the climate crisis, the effects of capitalism and consumer culture, the increasing polarization of American society, forms of political protest, and the possibilities of individual freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eROBERT LONGO (b. 1953, Brooklyn) is one of the most influential artists of American postmodernism. In the 1980s, he became one of the central protagonists of the so-called Pictures Generation, one of the most influential American art movements to date. What characterized this loose grouping of artists including Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, David Salle, Richard Prince, Jack Goldstein, and Sherrie Levine, despite the diversity of their individual positions, was their appropriation, restaging, and recontextualization of existing images. Longo lives and works in New York.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811902726408,"sku":"9783775756617","price":98.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756617_e72f45d4-aa50-40c4-9a1e-cfb6396fb1fa.jpg?v=1744289538","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66285-robert-longo-charcoal-volume-2","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
