“The ideal artist is he who knows everything, feels everything,
experiences everything, and retains his experience in a spirit of wonder
and feeds upon it with creative lust… ”

“The word LOVE got to be the way it is because I have a kind of a passion about symmetry and the dividing of things into equal parts. The word LOVE is that way because those four letters best fit a square if the square is squared by that particular arrangement. And it was really that sort of a necessity for a very compact form that I came upon that arrangement…With the red, blue and green paintings the interaction in the eye is of such a nature that with the slightest change of light the fields automatically interchange, the positive becomes negative and vice versa, with almost a violent effect in the eye.”
LOVE, 1966 by Robert Indiana

“Using the design of the American flag took care of a great deal for me
because I didn’t have to design it. So I went on to similar things like
the targets – things the mind already knows. That gave me room to work
on other levels.”
Flag, 1954-55 by Jasper Johns
