Robert Indiana Figures of Speech

Susan Elizabeth Ryan's monograph reveals a complicated, bookish artist who was born Robert Clark in...Indiana in 1928. In her boldly argued study of American modernism, Corn sees such borrowings as typical of American artists in search of a 'usable past.' In looking for the roots of the American obsession to create an artistic tradition of its own--what Georgia O'Keeffe called 'the great American thing'--Corn zeroes in on such 'machine-age modernists' of the 20's as Demuth and Charles Sheeler."Ryan, Susan E. is the author of 'Robert Indiana Figures of Speech' with ISBN 9780300079579 and ISBN 0300079575.
