“Cube Structure Based on Five Modules” is an artwork created by Sol LeWitt in 1972. This sculpture belongs to the Minimalism art movement and exemplifies the genre through its simplicity and geometric precision. The artwork showcases a grid of interconnected cubes arranged in a precise, regimented pattern, emphasizing form and spatial illusion.
The sculpture consists of a series of white cubes, each meticulously aligned to form an open framework structure. The arrangement of these cubes creates a three-dimensional grid pattern that plays with negative space. The linear and angular lines of the cubes cast intricate shadows, adding depth and complexity to the seemingly simple composition. The use of repetition and symmetry embodies the minimalist aesthetic, focusing on form, proportion, and the spatial relationship between the elements. The artwork’s purity and simplicity invite viewers to explore the variations within the uniformity of the cube structure.
