Wall Drawing #1131 (2004)
This is my favorite work by Sol LeWitt because of its mass size and beauty. I love all of his wall drawings, and the idea of them. Each one of his wall drawings was installed by a set of assistants he had hired and that they were motivated by only his idea. That without his idea this piece would not have been made. I love the way this piece has flow, because it is spread across three walls. It plays with the eye because of the multiple colored rectangles within its overall shape. The curvature is something different that I have seen from LeWitt, it is a different technique he is using to capture a more beautiful picture. I could imagine myself staring at this piece for hours. I also love how all of his wall drawings break the line between a painting or a wall decoration, that it does not matter if the drawing is painted over, but that the idea was the work itself. This also ties in with the geometric ideas that LeWitt had about how math logically will paint the painting itself, and how that there are no decisions being made because of the logical focal points within the canvas. Also, the use of brighter colors makes this wall drawings all the more captivating.
