Famously proclaiming himself to be "an American painter of signs," Robert Indiana has created an enormous body of work, much of it boldly colored abstractions. In this incisive new examination of the artist, based on ongoing conversations with Indiana, art historian Martin Krause sifts through autobiographical clues within the artist's work and finds a wealth of affecting and affectionate references to Indiana's childhood, literary heroes, and the cultural icons of his generation. In addition, a penetrating essay by Pop art scholar John Wilmerding deconstructs Indiana's use of geometric shapes, making unexpected connections that enhance Krause's thesis. Accompanied by reproductions of more than 50 prints from the period 1960-2010--and focusing specifically on series such as Decade: Autoportraits, Vinalhaven Suite, and The Hartley Elegies as well as the "Love" and "Hope" images and studies of Marilyn Monroe, Picasso, and the Brooklyn Bridge--Krause's decryption of Indiana's visual language provides telling insight into the work of this quintessentially American artist"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: Essentially Robert Indiana / Martin Krause -- The formalities of Robert Indiana / John Wilmerding -- Plates / Martin Krause -- Reproduction credits. 500 $a Published on the occasion of the exhibition The Essential Robert Indiana, organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, May 24-August 18, 2013. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Indiana, Robert, $d 1928- $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Prints, American $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Krause, Martin F., $e writer of added commentary. 700 1 $a Wilmerding, John, $e writer of added commentary. 700 12 $a Indiana, Robert, $d 1928- $t Prints. $k Selections. 710 2 $a Indianapolis Museum of Art. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015952.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20130802011645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5367D84FB3811E2823B5EA3DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
