ROBERT LONGO AT METRO PICTURES, NEW YORK
James Kalm visits the latest offerings from a well-known proponent of the Pictures Generation, Robert Longo. Coming on the New York scene like gangbusters in the late 70s, the cool kids of the Pictures Generation were seen as fashionable radicals melding deadpan representation appropriated from photos and the mass media with a hermetic post conceptual theory. With this body of drawings, the artist has moved away from his large figures and is instead focused on the effects of atmosphere in landscapes and large interior spaces, presenting a Post-Modern Romanticism.
