The concept behind LOVE and other paintings is far more important to me than what I see on the canvas. I don't think I have to tell you this, LOVE was conceived at a time when the United States was consumed by the war in Vietnam. It became a symbol for peace.
I won't go into detail, but Indiana originally got the idea from a banner he saw at a church saying "God is Love" and applied it to the time and situation America was in. It's not just 4 painted letters.
Anyway, I can only speak for myself, and I judge an art piece by it's underlying statement and what it's trying to say.
Well, most of the times.
