Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana, born Robert Clark in 1928 (now 88 years old), is an American artist from Indiana and is associated with the pop art movement (the art of popular culture).
In 1954, Robert Clark changed his last name to his native state’s name, Indiana.
He became famous for his very simple images that often included a short word.
Especially his LOVE series.
The first 'LOVE' piece came in 1964 when Indiana created the design for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art.
Then in 1973, the US Postal Service put the design on a stamp!
He then created the ‘LOVE’ sculpture
Later on Indiana was even involved in creating LOVE sculptures in other languages as well (like the 'AMOR' sculpture that appeared in Madrid, Spain in 2006 - since moved to the National Gallery of Art)!
Love in Hebrew Love in Spanish
In 2008, Indiana created a 'HOPE' image in the same style as his 'LOVE' image. He sold tons of prints of his work and donated all of the proceeds to the Democratic National Committee for Barack Obama's first presidential campaign.
Since then he has also createdseveral 'HOPE' sculptures(one of which was featured at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO)!
