While going back through an older issue of Purple Fashion, I came across an interview of Robert Longo, the New York City artist known for his fantastic depictions in charcoal. I then spent a day in Chelsea last week and saw the current show at Metro Pictures, a group show including Robert Longo, David Maljkovic, and John Miller. This made me think back to the MET’s show, The Pictures Generation 1974-1984, and the large Longo drawings that hung in the main lobby during that show. Am I just noticing this as coincidence or are people paying more attention? Or should we all be paying more attention? In any case, check out the show and take another look at the work of Longo from the past.
