Robert Indiana bezieht sich bei seinem Werk "The Figure 5" (2) in den 1960er-Jahren auf Charles Demuths Gemälde „The Figure Five in Gold“ (1) aus dem Jahr 1928, das wiederum auf William Carlos Williams' Gedicht „The Great Figure“ basiert.
"The Demuth American Dream #5" (3) sind fünf thematisch zusammenhängende Siebdrucke. Jedem der Sterne fügte er eine eigene Botschaft hinzu.

"...And the Home of the Brave," Charles Demuth, 1931.

Demuth (1883-1935) was an American painter who developed the Precisionist style, which centered on reducing objects to their component shapes, but also still depicted them comprehensibly, as opposed to Cubism, which could be puzzling to the viewer.

Here he depicts a cigar factory in his native Lancaster, PA. This was late in his life, when diabetes was taking its toll on him, and there's a sense of irony here as the promise of American freedom is overwhelmed by industrialization.

An openly gay man, Demuth painted an eyebrow-raising self-portrait of himself, nude, with other nude men at a "Turkish bath." Make of it what you will. There is a museum dedicated to him in Lancaster; I need to get up there sometime soon.

From the Art Institute of Chicago.
