Sol Lewitt (1928-2007)

‘The rainbow’s colours – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet – are formed when the sun’s rays are reflected and refracted by drops of rain and mist. Forming the basis for LeWitt’s work, this palette acts as a connection between his affinities for nature in general and this phenomenon specifically’ (S. Cross and D. Markonish (eds.), Sol LeWitt: 100 Views, New Haven 2009, p.24).
