Wall drawings by Sol LeWitt, MASS MoCA, North Adams, Massachusetts, 2011

I juxtaposed two of LeWitt’s wall drawings featured in a semi-permanent retrospective exhibit at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. The drawing are in separate rooms, but my frame and vantage point makes the two into a powerful expression of color, perspective, pattern, and rhythm. The color bands at left are muted and earthy, while the vividly colored steps at right feature the primary colors of red, blue and yellow. Yet both seem to hang together, linked by a band of black and the gray end of the wall that divides them.

Thanks, Iris. Shooting this image was one of the highlights of the day at this art museum for me. Making a unique piece of art out of two different works in two different rooms was a great learning experience for me, and hopefully a productive teaching experience for all who may come to this page to view it. Glad you enjoyed it.

I love it.......the colors, the composition, the patterns and, yes, the geometry, all appeal to me.
