Red square, white letters

Museum Ludwig, Cologne (Germany).

Canvas, oil.

One of the few paintings by the artist has contrasting red and white colours. The entire painting is divided into nine equal squares, in several of which Sol LeWitt placed inscriptions. In such an unusual way, the artist turns viewers into readers, forcing them to transform their visual perception into intellectual and vice versa. Each of the fields differs from the next one either in colour or an inscription, and all this looks like a kind of logical task that cannot be solved because there is no right answer to it.
