Robert Indiana (1928 – 2018) was an American Pop artist. After serving for three years in the U.S. Air Force, he went to school at the Art Institute of Chicago where he earned his BFA in 1954. After some encouragement from fellow artist and friend, Ellsworth Kelly, Indiana settled in the Coenties Slip, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan. Consequently he became a part of an art community which included Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, and Jack Youngerman. He is most famous for his series of LOVE paintings, which spell out the word “love” in colorfully painted typography.
