Indiana (1928-2018) painted the original version of The Great LOVE in 1966; this joined, four panel oil on canvas is now in the collection of the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. According to Indiana, "The first LOVE paintings [from the 1960s] were red, blue and green because my father worked for Phillips 66 and in those days, in the 30s and 40s, all Phillips stations were red and green; the gas pumps, the uniforms, the oil cans. It was a large Phillips 66 sign against a blue sky which I passed hundreds of times as a boy which determined the colors of the LOVE painting.
