Lithograph in black and grey on Rives BFK paper.
Hand-signed, dated and numbered in pencil.
'Max from Men in the Cities' by Robert Longo is a lithograph reproducing the visual language of his landmark 1980s drawing series 'Men in the Cities'. A suited male figure — jacket half-shrugged off his shoulders, white shirt pulling free, loosened tie swinging — contorts in a wide-legged stance with his head bowed and one hand trailing at his side. Rendered in stark charcoal-like black and white against an empty ground, the image captures the series' signature freeze-frame tension: formal dress undercut by physical strain. The original 'Men in the Cities' drawings established Longo as a central figure of the Pictures Generation, using the visual grammar of advertising and cinema to put pressure on ideas of masculinity and social performance.
Robert Longo (United States, 1953) is an artist renowned for his large-scale, hyper-realistic charcoal drawings. His iconic 'Men in the Cities' series captures sharply dressed figures in dynamic, contorted poses, reflecting the tension of urban life. Longo's work often explores themes of power and authority, making a significant impact on contemporary art.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
