Sol LeWitt cytaty

Sol LeWitt – amerykański artysta związany z różnymi ruchami, m.in. z sztuką konceptualną i minimalizmem. LeWitt zyskał sławę w późnych latach 60. XX wieku jego rysunkami ściennymi i "strukturami" ale był również płodnym artystą w innych dziedzinach, włączając rysunek, malarstwo i grafikę.

Jego twórczość była przedmiotem setek wystaw w muzeach i galeriach całego świata począwszy od roku 1965. Obejmuje ona wiele dziedzin od rysunków ściennych do setek prac z papieru . Jego prace różnią się rozmiarami od instalacji budowanych we wnętrzach galerii do monumentalnych prac na otwartej przestrzeni. Częste użycie modularnych struktur wywodzi się z sześcianu, formy która miała duży wpływ na sposób myślenia artysty. Wikipedia

Sol LeWitt: Cytaty po angielsku

“The artist’s will is secondary to the process he initiates from idea to completion.... His wilfulness may only be ego.... The process is mechanical and should not be tampered with. It should run its course.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt

“In conceptual art the idea or the concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art. This kind of art is not theoretical or illustrative of theories; it is intuitive; it is involved with all types of mental processes and it is purposeless. It is usually free from the dependence on the skill of the artist as a craftsman.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt

“The ideas need not be complex. Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple. Successful ideas generally have the appearance of simplicity because they seem inevitable.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt, "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art," 1967

“The artist’s aim is not to instruct the viewer, but to give information, whether the viewer understands the information is incidental to the artist.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt

“The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns our refrigerators. I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt
Źródło: Art Institute of Chicago. Video Data Bank (1992), On Art and Artists. p. 1991

“Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings. As soon as one does work on walls, the idea of using the whole wall follows. It means that the art is intimately involved with the architecture. It is available to be seen by everyone. It avoids the preciousness of gallery or museum installations. Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.”

Quotes of Sol Lewitt, "Sol LeWitt by Saul Ostrow," 2003

“Minimal art went nowhere. Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus. All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art. The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.”
