Robert Indiana

Robert Indiana has played a central part in the development of assemblage of art, hard-edge painting, and pop art.  Robert has a highly original body of work that explores the identity of America, personal history, and the power of abstraction and language.  This has established an important legacy resonating in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word their central element.

 These pieces demonstrate emphasis very well as the letters are giant and three dimensional.  Another thing that is in these pieces is the principle of Harmony.  Each piece of the work seems to fit harmoniously together to make an aesthetically pleasing sculpture.

I chose this artist because ever since meeting of of my greatest friends, I have developed an interest in street art.  I have also always been very interested in massive art pieces.  The sheer size of Inti's artwork intrigued me.  The only real thing that I was thinking when I saw the images of his work was, "How the heck?!  That must have taken so much spray paint!"
