'Luminous Discontent': Robert Longo’s monochrome vision
Issued on: Modified:
Our guest made his name in the 1980s New York art scene with his charcoal renderings of men and women falling. Now, Robert Longo takes us on a visual journey from earthly struggles to the nirvana of artistic creation. His new show at the Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in Paris tackles politics, violence and beauty; it’s a chance to worship at the altar of fine art from the man who says "art is my religion".
