Sol LeWitt

Associated Names

Sol LeWitt

Artist, American, 1928 - 2007

The image shows a complex pattern of concentric squares woven together with fine lines to create an abstract lattice effect. The repetition and intersections form a mosaic across the canvas. The colors include red, blue, and black lines emerging from the four corners and blending as they progress inward. The convergence of lines builds an abstract visual reminiscent of a kaleidoscope's designs.
