Robert Indiana was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana in 1928. Early in his career Robert lived in New York City and everyone called him Robert from Indiana, so he changed his name to Robert Indiana. Whether that story is true or not, his name does identify him as the most famous artist from the state of Indiana. His LOVE painting which became a sculpture, lithograph and many other art forms has made him not only well known but very wealthy also. Indiana's style could be called graphic design for his use of letter and numbers in repeating patterns. Click on the LOVE painting below to go the the Robert Indiana Gallery.
