Sol LeWitt created "Colors from Corners" as part of his exploration of conceptual art. LeWitt challenged traditional notions of art by emphasizing the idea behind the artwork rather than its physical execution. Here, the simple, geometric composition of radiating bands of colour can be understood in the context of LeWitt's belief that the concept or idea behind a work of art is more important than the physical manifestation. LeWitt sought to democratize art by creating instructions that others could follow to produce his works, removing the aura of the artist's hand and genius. The bands of color, arranged in a fan-like composition, evoke a sense of order and logic, while the subtle variations in color and texture add an emotional depth to the piece. In the end, the piece invites us to reconsider our relationship to art, questioning traditional hierarchies of authorship, skill, and artistic value.
