Artist Robert Longo catches the eye with his twisted series, Men in the Cities, 1979. The works featureMad Menesque subjects in convulsing poses that thrash about in the most vivid way. Despite them being purely stationery, the audience is goaded into predicting and faintly imagining their next movements.
