Love and the American Dream: The Art of Robert Indiana (Portland Museum of Art)

<p>Robert Indiana's works all speak to the vital forces that have shaped American culture in the last half of the 20th century. "The American Dream" is the cornerstone of Indiana's mature work. It was the theme of his first major painting, sold to the Museum of Modern Art in 1961, as well as an ongoing series. Indiana also created one of the most widely recognized works of art in the world, "Love". Much of Indiana's important contribution to American art has been overshadowed by the proliferation, pirating, and mass production of works bearing the image of "Love". Daniel E. O'Leary discusses the artist's development through an examination of his journal/sketchbooks from 1958-1963; Susan Elizabeth Ryan investigates Indiana's painting "Love", its origins and impact on the artist's career; and Aprile Gallant contributes an essay on Indiana's preoccupation with the idea of "The American Dream".</p>

Robert Indiana: Recent paintings

Paul Kasmin Gallery

Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) is one of the most important sculptors of the last century, famous for her large-scale, monochromatic wood assemblages and outdoor works. Nevelson was born in Czarist Russia--immigrating to the US with her family at the age of three--and had her first solo exhibition at the prestigious Nierendorf Gallery in 1941. This extensively illustrated publication--with 157 images in color--is the first to focus on her collage work. Made throughout her career and every bit as important as her parallel work of the time, Nevelson’s collages have been out of the public eye for three decades. With never-before-published documentary images alongside personal essays by Robert Indiana and Bill Katz, this long overdue publication repositions these treasures of art history--as well as the reputation of their creator--for today’s audience.
