A google image search did make me like LeWitt better but... Wow! This Wyndham guy is something else.

My drawing teacher in high school commented disapprovingly on me painting a 'tea towel'. While Sol's are much better than mine, I must agree with my teacher that the work of Wyndham Lewis is far more interesting, imaginative, beautiful.

Ooh, wow, Lewis!

I have seen lots of LeWitt's work in person, and photos can't do it justice. There's something very calming about it. Lone voice for LeWitt.

I'm with Christine on this one. I like the sunny, cerebral, democratizing processes of Sol LeWitt. And the end results are, often if not always, lovely and quirky and worth a close look.

An accidental encounter with Sol LeWitt was my introduction to modern art and to museum art. He's one rigorous intellectual m[redacted]. He gets my vote.
