Sol Lewitt gave art new meaning and a complete new face on reinventing the foundation of expression.So simple and yet revolutionary.
Sol Lewitt (September 9, 1928 - April 8, 2007) was an American artist who was part of the Conceptual art and Minimalism movements. With his vision and perspective of art, he managed to scrape the true essence of a work and break it down to its foundation, its two and three dimensional form; plain old geometrical shapes. Of course when you think of great artist and painters first few names that are going to pop up is Picasso and Van Gogh, but little people know about great American painters. Lewitt has been the solo topic of hundreds of galleries and museums around American since 1965. When Lewitt died he left a giant footprint on contemporary art and a whole new approach to expressing yourself in a basic and most appealing manner.
