relationship between the painter Marsden Hartley and the German soldier Karl von Freyburg. Indiana, by painting the names of the two men in a large central ring, links them directly and reveals what is veiled behind symbols in Hartley’s War Motif series (1914). KvF II, unlike KvF I, is not based on a single painting, but includes motifs from several of Hartley’s paintings, motifs Indiana occasionally reinvests with autobiographical meaning.
