The simple design of the art rug presents the clear message that it wishes to convey. It uses only three solid colors that are uniform in tone. The bright red letters stand out boldly against the blue and green background. This juxtaposition gives this Pop Art Love rug by Robert Indiana an almost three dimension feel.
Robert Indiana used a classic font typography and a layout that gives each of the letters equal space. The slightly tilted O adds interest, as does the iconic font itself. This gives the Indian rug a balanced feel, as does his use of a divided background that is split between blue and green. The bluish tone of the green blends with the blue to create a cool background that contrasts with the fiery, warm red of the letters.
This classic “Love” design was first seen in a painting at the Museum of Modern Art during the pop art movement of the 1970’s. Indiana kept the vibe and style of the original design, only changing the colors. This design is one of the most recognizable pieces of modern pop art, and Indiana features it in a series of Love rugs that are fun and that reflect the ideology of the time that they represent.
