LeWitt has a geometrical since of art with his works. Although the shapes are sharp, most of his colors are vibrant especially in (Splotches 2005)
ReplyDeleteSol LeWitt's work in Wall Drawing and Splotches exhibit the same colors - very striking. I really like the defined lines in both pieces and they both seem to hint towards his previous career as a draftsman. Do you know what the sculptures were formed from? Plaster?
