Robert Longo

Untitled (After Klee, Angelus Novus, 1920)

2026

A hyperrealistic charcoal drawing that reinterprets Paul Klee's seminal work Angelus Novus, exploring themes of history, loss, and the weight of the past. Longo's monumental rendering transforms the spiritual and melancholic subject into a contemporary meditation on cultural memory and artistic lineage. The work engages with Klee's original through a lens of American figuration and dramatic intensity, questioning how we witness and remember historical moments.
