The artwork, titled “Four Winds (from 1 CENT LIFE Portfolio),” was created by Robert Indiana in 1964. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified as a figurative artwork.
“Four Winds” features a dynamic composition consisting of numbers and arrows rendered in bold, primary colors. The numerals (3, 4, 2, and 1) are designed with a stylized, almost industrial aesthetic, where each number is paired with arrows pointing in various directions. The use of vibrant reds, yellows, greens, and blacks against a white background creates a strong visual contrast. The arrows interlock and overlap, giving a sense of movement and interaction, embodying the idea of the “four winds” mentioned in the title. The overall arrangement is both visually engaging and thought-provoking, characteristic of the Pop Art movement’s emphasis on popular culture and graphic design.
