The artwork, titled “Horizontal Wavy Lines,” is a piece created by Sol LeWitt in 1996. It belongs to the Op Art and Post-Painterly Abstraction art movements and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork exhibits a vibrant and dynamic array of undulating lines that flow horizontally across the canvas. Each line is composed of multiple colors, including shades of red, blue, green, yellow, and black, which blend and intertwine in a fluid and harmonious manner. The convergence and divergence of these lines create a sense of movement and depth, engaging the viewer’s eyes in a mesmerizing dance. The interplay of colors and curves evokes a powerful visual rhythm, characteristic of LeWitt’s signature style, and exemplifies the aesthetics of the aforementioned art movements, where optical effects and abstraction are prominently employed to explore perception and visual response.
