“Horizontal Lines of Color,” executed by Sol LeWitt in 2005, embodies the characteristics of Post-Painterly Abstraction within the abstract genre. The artwork is an intricate array of wavering horizontal lines composed in a blend of hues, predominantly grays and blacks interspersed with subtle touches of red and white. The lines undulate in a rhythmic, sinuous fashion, creating an optical illusion that draws the viewer’s gaze across the canvas. Each line varies in thickness and subtly shifts in tone, contributing to a harmonious yet dynamic visual experience. The composition’s meticulous structure and deliberate color transitions exemplify LeWitt’s innovative approach to abstract art.
