In Book of Love, the largest of any LOVE print series, Indiana iterates the image through twelve different colorways paired with twelve of his own poems. Where LOVE on its own became a symbol, Book of Love communicates Indiana's more complicated contemplations of the illusion and disillusion of love and the world — the same emotions that inspired the destabilizing O in the composition.

Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana's work evolved into hard-edged graphic images of words, logos and typographic forms, earning him a reputation as one of the country's leading contemporary artists.
Indiana is known for using public signs and symbols with altered lettering to make stark and challenging visual statements. In his prints, paintings and constructions, he gave new meaning to basic words like Eat, Die and Love. Using them in bold block letters in vivid colors, he enticed his viewers to look at the commonplace from a new perspective. One indication of his success was the appearance of his immensely popular multi-colored Love on a United States postage stamp in 1973.
