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
" 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
" 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
" Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends. "

Sol Lewitt
" Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them. "

Sol Lewitt
" Buying books was a way anyone could acquire a work of art for very little. "

Sol Lewitt
" Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus. "

Sol Lewitt
" During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art. "

Sol Lewitt
" Every generation renews itself in its own way; there's always a reaction against whatever is standard. "

Sol Lewitt
" I became interested in making books, starting about 1965, when I did the Serial Project #1, deciding that I needed a small book to show how the work could be understood and how the system worked. "

Sol Lewitt
" 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
" I didn't want to save art - I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn't know what I would do. "

Sol Lewitt
" I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art. "

Sol Lewitt
" 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
" Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings. "
