Heavenly Bodies - Robert Longo

When I draw, I take it into me. I look at it,
it goes into every part of my body; it comes out of me.

  1. Glorious work and glorious earth&sky. (Just listened to a wee interview with Longo on the MoMA site in relation to Cindy Sherman's show there. Random synchronocities . . .) Many thanks, Sophie.

    1. Thank you, Donna! Just went to see what you're talking about ... thanks a lot for pointing me to the interview - and the whole online exhibition of Cindy Sherman's work - of ("I am") Robert Longo ("and I try to be an artist!") *love him*
