Robert Indiana
B 1928

Robert Indiana was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana.
His family relocated to Indianapolis, where he graduated from
Arsenal Technical High School. He moved to New York City in 1954
and joined the pop art movement, using distinctive imagery drawing
on commercial art approaches blended with existentialism, that
gradually moved toward what Indiana calls "sculptural poems".

Indiana's iconic work LOVE was first created for a Christmas card for
the Museum of Modern Art in 1964 and later was included on an
eight-cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973,
the first of their regular series of "love stamps." The first
serigraph/silk screen of "Love" was printed as part
of an exhibition poster for Stable Gallery in 1966.

For Valentine's Day 2011 Indiana created a similar variation
on LOVE for Google, which was displayed in place of the search
engine site's normal logo.
