-This is a photo of an installation of wall drawings by Sol Lewitt at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2000. His sculptures and drawings were considered 'colorful, jazzy, geometric and simple.' Although these wall paintings may seem simple, they took a lot a time and sometimes he would have help from teams of people that still took weeks to complete the works. Sometimes I find myself uninterested in minimalist art or abstract expressionism, but Lewitts work (his sculptures especially) leave me far from uninterested and wanting to look at for hours.
-Here is a link to a New York Times article written about Lewitt after he died.
