Presented at a monumental scale, the size and virtuoso technique of his photorealistic charcoal drawings enhance his powerful imagery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on photographs and found images, Longo's drawings tap into cultural and collective memories. In the translation from the intimate drawing process to the massive scale of his final works, his motifs become a powerful presence. Political events and social observations influence his choice of design elements, which he isolates and reduces to heighten their visual impact. Using the stylistic devices of magnification and chiaroscuro, his work can seem equally real and unreal. He emphasizes the spatial depth and plasticity of his subjects, using the deep blackness of charcoal on paper to absorb all light. This book presents ninety full-color images to explore the work of this groundbreaking contemporary artist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElsy Lahner\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of contemporary art at the Albertina Museum in Vienna. \u003cb\u003eKlaus Albrecht Schöder\u003c\/b\u003e is an Austrian art historian and the director of the Albertina Museum in Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11.6 x 10.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176485765369,"sku":"9783777443836","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QBZCQq2Ezk9783777443836.webp?v=1767683157","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/robert-longo-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
