Remembering Sol LeWitt, born on this day in 1928.
Like other artists associated with Minimalism and Conceptualism, LeWitt sought a means of direct and objective expression. He often produced works in series using a simple modular unit—in this case, the open cube—to create hundreds of artworks that articulate the possible variations and configurations. Consisting of systematically arranged rows and stacks of cubes, 13/11 is one of LeWitt’s three-dimensional “structures.” With its complex lattice of white lines and gray shadows, the work is as visually compelling as it is formally precise.

Sol LeWitt to Eva Hesse
If you’ve never read Sol LeWitt’s advice letter to Eva Hesse please go read it in full here: https://guildess.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/sol-lewitt-letter-to-eva-hesse/ (Or go watch Benedict Cumberbatch read it on Letters Live on YT) because it is just wonderful.
“You seem the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. Don’t! Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world every once in a while. You have every right to.”
“You belong in the most secret part of you.”
“I have much confidence in you and even though you are tormenting yourself, the work you do is very good. Try to do some BAD work – the worst you can think of and see what happens but mainly relax and let everything go to hell – you are not responsible for the world – you are only responsible for your work – so DO IT. And don’t think that your work has to conform to any preconceived form, idea or flavor. It can be anything you want it to be. But if life would be easier for you if you stopped working – then stop. Don’t punish yourself. However, I think that it is so deeply engrained in you that it would be easier to DO!”
“You also must believe in your ability. I think you do. So try the most outrageous things you can – shock yourself. You have at your power the ability to do anything.”
