“Stars 5 Pointed” is an artwork created by Sol LeWitt in 1996, aligning with the Op Art movement and embodying abstract genre characteristics. The artwork consists of a grid arrangement with a repetitive pattern of five-pointed stars, rendered in a variety of colors. This piece exhibits LeWitt’s interest in systematic compositions and vibrant visual effects, typical of Op Art’s optical illusions and the abstract art genre’s emphasis on shapes and color play.
The artwork features a grid of squares, each containing a five-pointed star with interchanging stripes, meticulously arranged in an alternating color scheme. The stars and their backgrounds span a wide spectrum of shades, including reds, yellows, blues, greens, and monochrome tones, creating a dynamic visual experience. The systematic repetition of the star shapes, along with the vibrant color contrasts, exemplifies the principles of Op Art by producing an engaging optical effect.
