| biography:
| Painter and graphic designer, born in New Castle, Indiana, USA. He studied art in Indianapolis, in Ithaca, NY, and at the Art Institute of Chicago. Settling in New York City in 1956, he began making hard-edged abstract pictures and stencilled wooden constructions, as part of the early Pop Art movement. His best-known images are based on the letters LOVE, as featured in his first one-man show in New York City (1962). His other word-paintings have included HUG, ERR, and EAT. |
