About Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana (pseudonym of Robert Clark) ( New Castle, USA 1928 - Vinalhaven, USA 2018) was an American painter, sculptor and poet. He was a leading representative of pop art and created the internationally famous LOVE symbol in 1964. A self-described American painter of signs", Robert Indiana's works explore visual culture, national identity and personal history through symbols and colours inspired by signage and graphic design.
Indiana had his first solo exhibition in 1962 at Eleanor Ward's Stable Gallery, which at that time also represented Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg. In 1962 he participated with the work The Black American Dream #2 in the exhibition New Realists, organized in the gallery of Sidney Janis. It was here that pop art first announced itself as a new movement in visual art. In the following years, Indiana would participate in all the important group exhibitions of this movement.
Although the Pop Art movement made Indiana famous, he was never fully comfortable with the consumerist nature of Pop Art as his work often was very politically outspoken. In 1978 Robert Indiana left New York City for good, moving to the remote island of Vinalhaven in Maine, close to where his hero, the painter Marsden Hartley had lived. Since then he rarely gave interviews or engaged in the art world, yet he continued to align himself with political causes, designing the official poster for Barack Obama's Presidential campaign in 2008.
During his lifetime Indiana had countless exhibitions all over the world, and his work is included in the collections of numerous international museums: among others Metropolitan Museum New York, Museum of Modern Art New York, Tate Modern London, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.

O artista nasceu Robert Clark em New Castle, Indiana. Mais tarde, ele mudou seu nome para o de seu estado natal. Entre 1945 e 1955 estudou em escolas de arte em Indianápolis e em Utica, Nova York; na School of The Art Institute of Chicago, no Edinburgh College of Art e na London University. Em 1956, ele se estabeleceu na cidade de Nova York e começou a fazer fotos com cores vivas e bordas duras. Na década de 1960, ele incorporou letras e palavras em suas obras, criando as ousadas palavras-imagens que lhe trouxeram amplo reconhecimento.
Robert Indiana encontrou seus assuntos nas palavras de placas americanas e outdoors de rodovias. Como outros artistas pop que surgiram na década de 1960, ele se apropria de imagens familiares da cultura americana e lhes dá um novo olhar. Uma de suas imagens mais famosas é a palavra "AMOR" representada em várias formas: letras maiúsculas coloridas ou em preto e branco em gravuras e pinturas; escultura de metal polido em grande escala; e até selos postais.
Em South Bend, a litografia da Gallery, Indiana não apenas alude ao seu estado natal e a si mesmo, mas também se entrega a um trocadilho visual nas voltas da seta, apontando para o sul. Por meio de cores vibrantes e sinais de trânsito, nomes de lugares e formas que ricocheteiam na composição, ele capta a energia de uma rodovia americana de alta velocidade. O trabalho de Indiana inclui gravuras, esculturas e pinturas e muitos murais encomendados.
