Sol lewitt art
A new dawn comes every day. Or so we are to believe. For those of us close to Sol LeWitt, April 8, seemed like perhaps the last day with a dawn. Sol was a man, beyond his artistic renown, who gave, thought, read, shared and imbued much. For his peers, he was part out-sider and part ringleader. For his family, he was a steady foundation. For those younger than him, he was an inspiration, a support, a mystery, a model and so much more. Of course, with Sols passing, dawns continue to come and go, no matter how hard it was to believe. With these new dawns, is an opportunity for a new or re-evaluation and appreciation of Sols work. As a quiet, reticent man, a towering figure in art history, a reader always with a book and a shy man in the corner, his identity has been at once wrapped up in readings of his work and yet, understandably, kept rather separate. Four-plus years after Sols passing, there is, what he Sol lewitt!
