SOL LEWITT
20th Century Artists
Bath
Sol Lewitt created pure and simple, impersonal designs. He explored repetitions and variations of a basic form or line to achieve complex yet satisfying works.
'The most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it is relatively uninteresting…therefore it is the best form to use as a basic unit for any more elaborate function, the grammatical device from which the work may proceed'.
