Product Description
by Beth Klingher (Author)
This coloring book is inspired by the work of Sol LeWitt. LeWitt was famous for a series of abstract, geometric wall paintings based on his theory of Conceptual Art. Like the composer of a musical piece, Sol LeWitt wrote the instructions for his paintings and then others, usually trained draftsmen, actually created the paintings. Now you can be a Sol LeWitt draftsman and follow LeWitt inspired instructions to design and color these intriguing abstract creations.
