Angel More 1977

Robert Indiana made "Angel More" with flat areas of bold, clear color, which is a total process in itself, you know? There's this super strong color palette, like a beautiful old print, and look how the blocks butt up against each other, the figure is almost like it's been cut out with scissors. What I like is that it's not trying to be subtle or nuanced; it just *is*, with this frankness that's refreshing. The details, like the little dots and the ribbons, are so precise. It reminds me of other artists who were also fascinated with signs, signals and symbols in American culture, like Jasper Johns or Roy Lichtenstein. To me it is like a conversation between then and now. Anyway, it’s cool, it's weird, it's whatever you want it to be.
