In 1965 Indiana in turn developed the characteristics of these "Number Paintings", which inspired Creeley to write his poems in 1967 and 1968." Both the artists "... represent an American generation that has done away with the self-coding that was in vogue in the fifties, and they take a new approach toward reality. They celebrate life - love, eating, drinking, friendship - in a simple language." (Dieter Honisch).
