| Love, 1966 |
The world-famous Love paintings and sculptures by beloved American artist Robert Indiana have always been a favorite of mine. I was recently surprised to learn that he feels that Love eclipsed and over-shadowed all of his other work. And, an amazing body of work it is!
Robert turned 85 this past September and the Whitney Museum of Modern Art in NYC honored him with an exhibit, Robert Indiana: Beyond Love, which just closed last month.
“I had no idea LOVE would catch on the way it did. Oddly enough, I wasn’t thinking at all about anticipating the Love generation and hippies. It was a spiritual concept. It isn’t a sculpture of love any longer. It’s become the very theme of love itself.” – Robert Indiana
To see Robert's extensive body of work, visit his website here. NPR also published a great article about him - Robert Indiana: A Career Defined by 'LOVE' No Longer.
