sol lewitt

A pair of panels painted during the late career of Sol LeWitt, after he had begun to employ more neutral tones in larger color fields.

LeWitt is the rare artist whose work ranges from the purely Conceptual to Abstraction. Not only did he have immense success bending the ideas of various modern schools of thought, but with the unlikely hammers of careful planning and whim he forged a body of work that—by its very nature and means of construction—was accessible to casual observers and art fiends alike.

"Conceptual Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach." —Sol LeWitt.
