Wall Painting Sol Lewitt

He was born in Chester, Connecticut, in Sep 9, 1928. when he was child he took art classes and when he graduated high school he decided to go to the field of art as a career. He got the art degree in Syracuse University, school of visual arts. He went to travel in Europe. after the Korean War he was moved to New York City in 1950 and study at the cartoonist and Illustrator School which another name is virtual art. First he was did seventeen magazine, where he did paste- up a graphic designer and architect he was doing painting, drawing and sculpture. “Sol Lewitt, whose deceptively simple geometric sculptures and drawing and ecstatically colored and jazzy wall painting ecstatically him as a lodestar of modern American art.” He dead in April 8, 2007 and he died because he had cancer. He was fighting with his cancer for the last four years” (Kimmelman 1-2).
Its meaning was using in painting jazzy paint it’s like a solid or attraction something. He took a job in museum of modern art (MoMA) in New York he work with a lot of artist together. "The two artists have fascinated and inspired him thought my career. It is both their work and their obsessive approach that capture my imagination. Sol Lewitt has kept cropping up since my day at art school. Discover art that was purely about from and an artist who could spend almost a lifetime exploring different." in this paragraph he was inspired with two artists he was doing different with others” (Orlando, Mathias 10).
This was about how he died and what happened to him when he died at only 78 years old. He had a cancer that why he died on April 8, 2007. He was the great artist in the world. He made lot of sculpture and wall drawing. He always uses bold or jazzy color in his painting. Sol Lewitt was expire modern people to do the art and participate to the art. He was draw painting like noodle its looks like noodles a bending. Everyone likes this painting because its looks like snake, colorful snake and same movement like snake body. He was painting the wall and use color red and green, yellow, blue or light blue. It’s look nice and very clear. The painting was so huge. The paintings shape is very different and imagines anyone like snake and road. The wall is white and the border color is blue and its looks a lot of noodle put in the white plate. It’s not straight road he take long time to finish because the painting is too big. (http://www.massmoca.org/lewitt/images/walldrawings/1152/image). He did the colorful painting because color joy of life and happiness. In life everywhere color is natural. The color are important ours life’s. “He wants to say no life without color. The sol lewitt made conceptual art and appending concept for almost 4 decade” (Robert 7).
The thesis of the paragraph in the art is the best way to express something or draw or point something but everyone looking and they had different opinion for the art. All people look at the picture and they have different opinion for the art. Sol Lewitt was a great artist he was draws many wall drawing and every painting different to the other. He had a cancer and he didn’t care abut his cancer he was still doing his art and his painting. Lewitt did fine and clear painting and the color was very accurate “after six years of fighting cancer with unexpected success, sol lewitt died on April 8 at New York hospital age 78. He finishes his last drawing less than four day earlier. His death learns a huge in the void word of art and among his hundred of friends, almost 50 years” (Lippard Lucy r pg 47).

He was expressing his life in this painting and that is why he was use bright color in his painting. He uses (red, orange, pink, grey, blue and light blue) color in this painting. He wants use different color to each star and it’s so big. The first painting this quote “Some his painting is geometric sculpture drawing and ecstatically colored and jazzy wall painting astatically him as a loadstar of modern American art, he died on Sunday in New York. He was 78 and lived mostly in Chester, Connecticut.” The Sol Lewitt always uses the geometric drawing. He was doing color painting more its great shapes and contras. Lewitt painting style use in the future for next generation that why they wants to keep them. Its saws he was live in the Connecticut and he paint very nicely. the second painting name is "The Serial Attitude.” and "In the 1960s Sol Lewitt began creating artworks that explored the ways in which line, color, and images could be organized and expressed through what Lewitt’s close friend, the artist Mel Bochner, described as “The Serial Attitude.” As such, Lewitt became one of the leading exponents of Minimalism and Conceptual art, engaging painting, drawing, photography, language, performance, printmaking, sculpture, and eventually wall drawings through his well thought-out philosophy. In writing for Art forum in 1967, he proposed: “In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes the machine that makes the art. This kind of art is not theoretical or illustrative of theories, it is intuitive. It is involved with all types of mental processes and it is purposeless . . . There is no reason to suppose, however, that the conceptual artist is out to bore the viewer.” In this quota he tells about his painting how and why he did this painting before he paint this painting Sol Lewitt close friend Bochner tell about this idea and knew that he will be did that to make conceptual art and he did that after he did a lot of conceptual art painting.
third drawing is like door or color window and quote for this research " In 1969 he introduced color into his work; he used the three primary colors and black in his “coat of arms” and then added to make secondary and tertiary colors. In the 1980s his work changed again. He moved to Italy, got married, and these events opened up his work. He used colorful ink washes and not just lines but stars and geometric forms. His works are permanent until they are destroyed. As an artist he constantly reinvented himself. 105 of his wall drawings will be on view at Mass Moca for the next 25 years in a retrospective. You have plenty of time to plan a trip to see them.” this painting do on Sol Lewitt in 1969.Its very beautiful painting to another painting very huge. explain evidence “Sol Lewitt, whose deceptively simple geometric Sculpture and drawing and ecstatically colored and jazzy wall painting ecstatically him as a lodestar of modern American art died Sunday in the New York. He was 78 and lives mostly in the Chester, Connecticut" (Kimmelman, 1-2).

the evidence this quote he was old person when he was draws and paint. He was lived in Connecticut most of the time. His wall painting is really nice and the house painting was good too. Lewitt painting and wall painting makes your house colorful and interesting shape. The painting shapes going around and around. Every time he was change the color. Lewitt use color in his painting blue and green and sometime orange and red. He was color his painting very nicely to look good and notice something all painting he draw shape all the painting like cube, spear, rectangle, triangle like all math shapes. His painting and shapes to create same math sums equation. In this painting he paints circle and cubes. He did the colorful painting because color joy of life and happiness. In life everywhere color is natural. The color are important ours life’s. He wants to say no life without color. He takes a lot of time and he did nice painting to make move and give the color like in the picture. The both painting are beautiful to own way. They both are colored and beautiful and nice shape to look better. They both painting was own style. They are nice and one is plain anyone is wall drawing. “Lewitt believed the conception was more important then the finish art object, much of his mature work consisted of detailed plans for intricate, geometric drawing. Many of them executed, collector and museum would buy the plans and hire artist to carry them out, and the artist take care of that" (Robert b7).
the evidence of this quote it is important of his painting and the museum people hire the artist to carry his all painting. These painting are important to them. Hay is this in the future to teach another people. The sol lewitt is great artist in the world they had lot thing to give another generation to look his painting and remember to him and to learn something to do. It tells about how and what happened sol lewitt died. He had a cancer about four or five-year before and after he was died. They tell about where he was lived and he was live in mostly Chester, Connecticut because he was born other there. Lewitt spend most of the time over there when he was old and he had cancer he was live in the Connecticut. He want to died over there where he born and where Lewitt house.
