Horizontal Bands with Colors Superimposed 1988

Sol LeWitt created ‘Horizontal Bands with Colors Superimposed’ using paint, but when or where is a mystery! These layered bands of color, they're so even, so controlled. I picture LeWitt with a brush, not so much painting, but more like… orchestrating color. Each stroke laid down with intention, building these zones that vibrate against each other. Look how the greens shift from earthy to almost electric. The colors seem to converse and blend with each other to create a subtle harmony. You can see a real dialogue with Josef Albers, right? That sense of color as its own language, its own structure. And it’s all hand-painted! There’s something deeply human in that slow, deliberate process. I can imagine him stepping back, squinting, adjusting the hue just so. That's what art is all about—that ongoing conversation, that back-and-forth between artists and ideas that stretches across time.
