À propos de l'auteur

Robert Longo (*1953) is an artist, filmmaker and musician living in New York. He is considered a key figure of the US “Pictures Generation,” which used appropriation and montage in the 1980s to unmask stereotypes in visual culture and to criticize the mediatization of war and the excessive glorification of history.
