Artist Robert Longo: I’m a Cave Man | Louisiana Channel

“Making art is a political act. Period.” We visited iconic American painter Robert Longo and met an artist who, with classic charcoal, records the time we live in. “One basic nature of being an artist is this desire to share. So, I see something, and I want to tell you what I see. I remember, as a student, I had taken some acid. And I was walking down the street with a friend of mine. And in the tree, I saw Jimmy Hendrix.
