About This Project
A generative tribute to Sol LeWitt’s instruction‑based wall drawings. Each piece is rendered algorithmically from LeWitt’s original instructions, producing unique variations with every reload.
Wall Drawing #11 (1969)
A wall divided horizontally and vertically into four equal parts. Within each part, three of the four kinds of lines are superimposed.
Wall Drawing #16 (1969)
Bands of lines 12 inches (30 cm) wide, in three directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal right) intersecting.
Wall Drawing #17 (1969)
Four‑part drawing with a different line direction in each part.
Wall Drawing #19 (1969)
A wall divided vertically into six equal parts, with two of the four kinds of line directions superimposed in each part.
Wall Drawing #38 (1970)
Tissue‑paper squares (1½ inches / 4 cm) inserted into holes in gray pegboard walls. All holes are filled randomly.
Wall Drawing #46 (1970)
Vertical lines, not straight, not touching, covering the wall evenly.
Wall Drawing #47 (1970)
A wall divided into fifteen equal parts, each with a different line direction, and all possible combinations.
Wall Drawing #56 (1970)
A square divided horizontally and vertically into four equal parts, each with lines in four directions superimposed progressively.
Wall Drawing #85 (1971)
A wall divided into four horizontal rows:
- Top row – four equal divisions, each with lines in a different direction.
- Second row – six double‑direction combinations.
- Third row – four triple‑direction combinations.
- Bottom row – all four directions superimposed.
Wall Drawing #86 (1971)
Ten thousand lines about 10 inches (25 cm) long, covering the wall evenly.
Wall Drawing #87 (1971)
A square divided horizontally and vertically into four equal parts, each with lines and colors in four directions superimposed progressively.
Wall Drawing #88 (1971)
A 6‑inch (15 cm) grid covering the wall. Within each square, non‑straight lines in one of four directions; any number of lines may appear, but at least one line is present in each square.
Wall Drawing #95 (1971)
A wall divided vertically into fifteen equal parts, featuring vertical, non‑straight lines in four colors, using all one‑, two‑, three‑, and four‑part color combinations.
Wall Drawing #130 (1972)
Grid and arcs emanating from the four corners.
Wall Drawing #138 (1972)
Circles and arcs originating from the midpoints of the four sides.
Wall Drawing #142 (1972)
A 10‑inch (25 cm) grid covering the wall. An increasing number of vertical, non‑straight lines from the left side and horizontal, non‑straight lines from the bottom, adding one line per row. All lines are evenly spaced based on the total number of lines, filling the last row of each direction.
Wall Drawing #154 (1973)
A black‑outlined square with a red horizontal line from the midpoint of the left side toward the middle of the right side.
Wall Drawing #159 (1973)
A black‑outlined square with a red diagonal line from the lower left corner toward the upper right corner, and another red line from the lower right corner to the upper left.
Wall Drawing #160 (1973)
A black‑outlined square with two red diagonal lines: one centered on the axis between the upper left and lower right corners, and the other centered on the axis between the lower left and upper right corners.
