Robert Longo's newest book "Charcoal" covers almost 20 years of his works showing off mastery of charcoal drawing that has made him one of America's most admired artists. Most of the works in the book originate as large scale drawings. "With every new work he reinvests the tradition of history painting with fresh relevance and impact, rendering majestic, era-defining images in a sensuous and sculptural photorealism."
