Like Pablo Picasso and David Hockney, Robert Indiana too designed costumes and sets for the theatre. On the occasion of the 1976 staging of Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson’s opera The Mother of Us All—a dramatic tribute to suffragist Susan B. Anthony—at the Santa Fe Opera House, Indiana envisioned a Pop-inspired, red-white-and-blue production. Here, the costume for politian Anthony Comstock is depicted in Indiana's trademark graphic, pared-down style. With an American flag floating in the background, Indiana enthusiastically applies the language of signage to set design.
