The Location of a Straight Black Line, a Not-Straight Yellow Line, a Broken Red Line and a Straight Blue Line 1975

"The Location of a Straight Black Line, a Not-Straight Yellow Line, a Broken Red Line and a Straight Blue Line" (1975) is a work on paper by conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, known for his minimalist, geometric works. This piece, characteristic of LeWitt's style, utilizes a simple composition of lines drawn in colored pencil on a white background, while including a text element. The text, written in a handwritten style, is present in each of the colored line sections and includes a series of instructions or annotations. LeWitt's work often employs a system of predetermined rules, allowing the artist to relinquish control over the final execution of the artwork. This allows the viewer to engage with the work on a conceptual level, focusing on the process of creating art rather than the artist's personal expression.
