Aesthetic Perception and Analysis

Sol LeWitt's reputation in the mid-sixties was made on the basis of art works that participated in and invented two of the most influential forms of post-modern art. By 1967 it became apparent that LeWitt's early three-dimensional structures, which helped define the “less-is-more” aesthetic of Minimalism, differed radically from those of his contemporaries and constituted a new style to which he gave the name Conceptual Art. As early as 1963 LeWitt was challenging the basic structure of modern art with obviously ordered but completely abstract systems. They presented the apparent contradiction of a seemingly meaningless visual structure married to an implicitly complex conceptual apparatus which remained virtual through the silence of the art work itself.
