Sandy, from Men in the Cities

A dynamic and striking lithograph by Robert Longo, *Sandy* is part of his iconic *Men in the Cities* series, depicting a solitary figure in a moment of intense, contorted movement against a stark white background. The work captures a sense of tension and ambiguity, as the figure's pose suggests both struggle and ecstasy, rendered with bold, precise lines that emphasize the physicality of the human form. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, this lithograph exemplifies Longo's mastery of translating his monumental charcoal drawings into the print medium.
