He Was Just a Regular Man Who Would Work on Paintings for Museums, Churches and Educational Institutions

 15 Years Ago Today

Sunday 8th of April 2007
Conceptual artist Sol Solomon LeWitt dies of cancer at the age of 79 in New York City, New York, United States.

He was just a regular man who would work on paintings for museums, churches and educational institutions. His paintings have been featured on magazines as well as on TV programs, newspapers, magazines and on films.
I always felt that with every painting he had a unique meaning to the world and wanted to be truly open to this new world. This was his most popular painting, of all time. He came from just shy of thirty years of age, but a strong young man. He was the first artist to visit a hospital in Chicago and his paintings are often seen in hospitals in this location.
In 1955, Solomon left Paris for Stuttgart, Germany. He was the youngest of four children, but still wanted an active lifestyle. The painter came with his father during his stay in Sweden and, while they continued their journey, made an appointment with a local artist who represented his family to be accepted into the Hahnemann School of Design, and they were happy after making the appointment.
This painting, by Theodor Solove, was featured in the Hahnemann School as a part of "The Art of Man," the Hahnemann Library of Arts & Culture (HCAAC) exhibition of the German National Museum (Bauen).
