Text Quotes
What the work of art looks like isn’t too important  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Formal art is essentially rational  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Conceptual art is only good if the idea is good  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Banal ideas cannot be rescued by beautiful execution  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the System. The visual aspect can’t be understood without understanding the system. It isn’t what it looks like but what it is that is of basic importance  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Your work isn’t a high stakes, nail-biting professional challenge. It’s a form of play. Lighten up and have fun with it  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) When artists make art, they shouldn’t question whether it is permissible to do one thing or another.  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) The idea part is simple but the visual perception is complex  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) One should be intelligent enough to know when not to be too intellectual  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) The idea becomes a machine that makes the art  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Buying books was a way anyone could acquire a work of art for very little  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Minimal art went nowhere  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) The narrative of serial art works more like music than like literature  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) I wasn’t really that interested in objects. I was interested in ideas  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) You shouldn’t be a prisoner of your own ideas  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Every generation renews itself in its own way; there’s always a reaction against whatever is standard  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) I believe that the artist’s involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live  (Sol LeWitt Quotes) Unless you’re involved with thinking about what you’re doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating  (Sol LeWitt Quotes)
