The idea of this public artwork is very
simple and deep at the same time. I think that Robert Indiana, the
American artists who created this beautiful masterpiece just wanted
to remind people that love is very powerful. I think that he also
wanted to say that we can make each other happier by spreading free
love and positive warming emotions that we experience when we love.
Love can be different and what I like about this particular artwork
is that it always reminds me of love being the key to everything!
“LOVE” sculpture perfectly interacts with it's surroundings,
especially in the center of Manhattan. The territory it's placed on
has a plenty of space so people can even take group pictures with the
giant sculpture. Every time I'm in that area I see people smiling and
taking photographs with“LOVE”. Just a thought of how powerful
this sculpture is in a sense of emotions it evokes in people makes it
very unique and effective. I find this artwork to be a benefit to
it's surroundings since I always looked at Manhattan as at business
area that mostly has skyscrapers. This particular artwork brings only
positive energy to that area and makes it even more popular and
attractive to tourists and passers by. The “LOVE” sculpture could
fit anywhere in the city. You can't go wrong with this artwork, it
would benefit any area of New York by making people smile and
enjoying taking pictures with it. We don't need more words to
understand what this public artwork is about, each of us can find his
own connection with it. We all need some free love in such a tough
and sometimes even cold big city like New York and I would be honored
to thank Robert Indiana personally for sharing such an amazing
artwork with us.
