The overarching message of this special exhibition at the McNay Art Museum was just what 2020 needed. Open for just over three months starting in October, the exhibit honored the career of the late pop artist Robert Indiana while paying special attention to how his work and legacy is tied to San Antonio’s art scene. Known for his “Love” sculpture and screen prints, Indiana’s pieces speak to the type of uplifting sentiments museum visitors needed while he and other artists’ use of bright colors and bold images brought a smile. Curators also featured Indiana’s 1968 World’s Fair poster plus pieces by San Antonians like Ethel Shipton and Gary Sweeney, whose styles can be reminiscent of Indiana’s. Thanks to a partnership with Gemini Ink, visitors could text a phone number to receive a poem by a San Antonian.
