Robert Indiana

"I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many."

"I never had the exposure to techniques and so forth that children have today with art workshops, but I always had crayons and pencils and still have work going right back to when I was five or six years old."

"I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists."

"I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza."
