Inquiry - Geometric Figure, 1987

Sol LeWitt's Geometric Figure, created in 1987, reflects his minimalist, conceptual approach.

The work shows a simple geometrical form, probably a parallelepiped, with a strong contrast between a black surface and a dark red top.

This combination of colors and angles creates an illusion of depth and a play on perception.

LeWitt, a key figure of Minimalism, uses geometry here to explore the relationship between form, color and space. Rather than seeking to represent a particular object, he systematizes shapes to emphasize their visual impact.
