Anne is a limited edition, pencil signed and numbered lithograph based upon Robert Indiana's original eponymous cut paper costume and scene design for The Mother of Us All — Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson’s 1947 experimental opera inspired by Susan B. Anthony - the feminist icon and leader of the women's suffrage movement. The character "Anne", by the way, represents Anna Howard Shaw, one of Anthony’s disciples and the friend who cared for Anthony at the end of her life. (Robert Indiana's original drawings are among the treasures of the McNay Art Museum. These vibrant images establish Indiana among artists in the theatre from Pablo Picasso to David Hockney.)

"The Mother of Us All", which billed itself as "An American Pop Opera", with Guest Designer Robert Indiana, was first performed in 1967 by the Center Opera Company of the Walker Art Center at the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre. A revival of "The Mother of Us All" was staged in New York in 2017 to critical acclaim.
