Robert Indiana (born Robert Clark on 13 September 1928, died on 19 May 2018) was a US artist and a central figure in the Pop Art movement. He drew inspiration from advertising signs and claimed: “In America, there are more signs than trees. There are more characters than leaves. I consider myself a painter of the American landscape. ” In his paintings, sculptures, carpets and prints, he imitates and arranges the words and numbers of a variety of signs, including the Phillips 66 gas station logo and the “Yield” traffic sign. He is best known for his 1964 painting “Love”, first produced for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He created a block of the word “Love”, with the “L” and the “O” on top of the ”V” and the “E”, effectively adding his own character into the mix. His “Love” painting was reproduced on a postage stamp in 1973; his “Love” sculptures are installed in public spaces worldwide.
