Robert Indiana called himself an 'advertising painter', and his designs consist of pure and powerful images, emblematic and representative of much commercial design.
He often chose to immortalize simple elements such as letters and numbers, as they occur in our handwriting. As a result, numbers and words became abstract elements in his work, instruments of graphic design and icons, rather than relying on their usual absolute meaning.
His works therefore had a range of meanings and are often rich in associations.

Indiana was enormously patriotic and early in his life adopted the name of his home state as his surname,
he saw his art as a profound reflection of the American experience.

His work is celebrated for its sobriety and fundamental symbolism, which formed the basis for the dependence of pop art on impeccable design and the use of symbols as subject matter.
The number five played a major role in his work, and a number of his paintings use it as theme, subject and image, notably those from 1963, the year in which he turned thirty-five.
