The artwork “Color Bands (Wadsworth Portfolio)” was created by Sol LeWitt in 2000 and is associated with the Minimalism and Op Art movements. The genre of this artwork is abstract.
The artwork consists of eight distinct panels, each depicting a multitude of colorful, parallel bands arranged in various geometric forms. These bands vividly display a spectrum of hues, creating an intense visual experience characteristic of both Minimalism’s structural simplicity and Op Art’s optical effects. Each panel presents a unique composition, either through the use of straight lines forming angles and triangles or through curves that form concentric circles and arcs. The uniform width of the bands and their arrangement in precise, repetitive patterns demonstrate LeWitt’s methodical approach and his commitment to the systematic exploration of form and color in abstract art.
