The artwork titled “Black with White Lines, Vertical Not Touching,” created by Sol LeWitt in 1970, is a lithographic piece epitomizing the Minimalism art movement. The abstract artwork, housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US, measures 43 by 59 centimeters.
This piece features a stark, monochromatic palette with black as the dominant background color. It is intricately overlaid with white vertical lines that do not intersect, creating a sense of rhythmic spacing and repetition. The minimalist approach reflects precise geometric abstraction and emphasizes simplicity and clarity, characteristic of Sol LeWitt’s artistic style. The careful arrangement of lines intertwined with the black background invites contemplation on the elegance found within minimalistic design.
