About this work

This lithograph captures a dramatically posed male figure in formal business attire, suspended in an ambiguous moment of physical tension. The subject appears caught mid-movement, body contorted and tilted at an extreme angle against a stark white background. Longo's masterful use of high contrast and precise linework creates a powerful sense of cinematic drama, while the embossing technique adds tactile dimension to the figure's clothing and form. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the sharp geometric quality of the suit against the figure's dynamic energy. Created during the height of Longo's influential Men in the Cities series, this work exemplifies the artist's exploration of urban alienation and controlled violence in 1980s America. The series has become iconic within contemporary art, with works held in major museum collections worldwide including MoMA and the Whitney. This lithograph offers collectors an accessible entry point into Longo's celebrated body of work, capturing the raw intensity and formal precision that established him as a defining voice of his generation.
