Men in the Cities: Study of Dave

A striking large-scale lithograph by Robert Longo, *Men in the Cities: Study of Dave* captures a solitary male figure in a moment of dynamic, contorted movement, his body twisting as if reacting to an unseen force. The work is rendered in Longo's signature high-contrast, photorealistic style, emphasizing the tension between control and chaos inherent in urban existence. Part of his iconic *Men in the Cities* series, the print on wove paper reflects Longo's exploration of power, vulnerability, and the performative nature of modern life.

Medium
Lithograph, on wove paper, with full margins.
