This print is comprised of four equal, rectangular sections that are framed by solid black lines. Each section contains a radiating pattern of concentric arcs that spread inward toward the center of the composition. The color patterns of the quadrants
are red/gray, blue/gray, white/gray and yellow/gray. As a Minimal and Conceptual artist, LeWitt believed that the idea behind a work of art is more important than the object itself. In his work, a systemic concept defines the compositional structure. This logic is evident in Arcs from Four Corners, where the principal idea of the title describes the composition.
