Artist Bio: Robert Indiana (1928-2018) was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, and took the name of his home state as his own. Arriving in New York in the mid 1950s, he worked among the artists of Coenties Slip in lower Manhattan, including Ellsworth Kelly and Agnes Martin, and developed the hard edged language of stenciled words, numbers, circles and stars that made him a central figure of American Pop. His paintings turned road signs and commercial lettering into meditations on the American Dream, and "LOVE," first designed in 1964 and issued as a postage stamp in 1973, became one of the most widely reproduced images in American art.

Indiana also worked for the stage. For the American bicentennial in 1976 the Santa Fe Opera staged "The Mother of Us All," Virgil Thomson's opera with a libretto by Gertrude Stein about Susan B. Anthony, with sets and costumes by Indiana. The following year he published a portfolio of prints drawn from those designs, each devoted to a character from the opera. "Gertrude Stein" belongs to that 1977 series, in which Stein appears among the cast of her own work.
