DescriptionThis print is divided into four equal rectangular sections, which contain radiating patterns of concentric lines that spread from the outer corner, inward toward the center of the composition. One quadrant is red/gray, blue/gray, white/gray, yellow gray, and each quadrant is framed and separated by solid black.Gallery LabelThis 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.
