Jeremy Green “The Electric EAT” 11/22/21

This sign was on a wall in a seating area outside the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s museum restaurant. This image was made with the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s wide angle lens, which is equivalent to a 14mm lens in 35mm format photography. I should have known that this is actually a work of art by the famous Pop artist, Robert Indiana, and its title is “The Electric EAT.” True to Pop art’s tendencies, I was fooled into thinking it was an actual sign. During Robert Indiana’s childhood his mother owned a diner, so there you go.
