BIO:
Robert Longo was born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. He was raised on suburban Long Island where as a youth he participated in various arts activities from a very young age. Longo developed an early fascination with all forms of mass media; especially movies, television, magazines, and comic books. These hallmark influences are still incorporated into the art work that he is producing today.
Robert Longo's works are filled with deep emotions that are both primitive and at the same time self-conscious. One of the quintessential artists of the 1980s, Longo's "Men in the Cities" series portrays a group of sharply dressed businessmen writhing in contorted agony.
Robert Longo's art training and background are very diverse. His higher education began at the University of Northern Texas, in the rural town of Denton. Like so many other creative and ingenious people, Longo excelled in several different art forms. After a break from university life, Longo began studying sculpture under the guidance of Leonda Finke, who encouraged the young artist to pursue a career in the visual arts. In 1972, Longo received a grant to study at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. Upon his return to New York, Longo enrolled at the State University College in Buffalo where he received a BFA in 1975. In college, Longo and a group of his friends established an avant-garde art gallery in their co-op building, which was originally a converted ice factory. Through his gallery efforts, Longo was introduced to many local and New York City artists. Eventually Longo moved to New York City and immersed himself in the underground art scene of the seventies.
