“Arcs from Four Corners” is an abstract artwork by Sol LeWitt, created in 1986, and is associated with the Minimalism art movement. The artwork features four distinct quadrants, each filled with arcs that originate from the corners of the rectangular composition. Each quadrant displays a unique color palette: red, blue, white, and brown. The gradient shading within the arcs creates a sense of movement and depth, emphasizing the geometric simplicity and precise execution characteristic of LeWitt’s oeuvre and the Minimalist genre.
The artwork consists of four equal sections, each divided by a black boundary. The arcs, uniformly spaced, convey a rhythmic pattern that draws the viewer’s attention toward the center of each quadrant. The interplay of the arcs creates a dynamic visual effect, emphasizing LeWitt’s exploration of systematic and logical progression in art. The overall composition, though simple in form, reveals a complex underlying structure that is emblematic of LeWitt’s contributions to minimalist art.
