Sol Lewitt, Wall Drawing #146. All two-part combinations of blue arcs from corners and sides and blue straight, not straight and broken lines., September 1972
From the Guggenheim:
Traditionally, the worked surface of a drawing has been understood as the most intimate and direct record of an artist’s creative process; by leaving the execution to others, LeWitt ensures that his autographic touch is wholly absent. Wall Drawing #146 exemplified LeWitt’s method of rendering the work a product of an intellectual gambit that functions via the possibilities posed by the instructions: “All two-part combinations of blue arcs from corners and sides and blue straight, not straight, and broken lines.” Constituting a dialectic between simplicity and complexity, austerity and sumptuousness, the mural surfaces of the artist’s wall drawings operate in the gap between the logical and the lyrical.
LeWitt’s serial grammar rejects the authority invested in the singular in favor of the repeatable and nonhierarchical, while the impermanent nature of his wall drawings privileges the momentary over the monumental. In this, his work discounts many of the most cherished notions that pervade modernist accounts of art. Despite the conceptual strategies LeWitt devised to position form in the service of ideas, his work demonstrates that while concept may take primacy over its visual analogue, ultimately neither is in and of itself wholly sufficient.

John Hughes sheds some light on the museum scene in his great film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I love the comment about how film making relates to pointillism and how he used this contextually for one of his characters. This 80’s teen flick has more depth than it’ll have you believe.
