Sol Lewitt response

Conceptual art is an interesting form of art that I had never really studied, examined, understood, or thought much about before. So after reading Sol Lewitt's article my eyes were opened to a new way of looking at and understanding conceptual art. This form of art that is based around an idea and that that an idea becomes the "machine that makes the art" and within this art process is important. Lewitt's also made a point that conceptual art is not logical and it does not have to be complex but rather made up of simple ideas. I also fancied how this art is open to perception and that it will mean something different as well as will be perceived differently by different people. I also enjoyed how he recognized in his final paragraph that the ideas he stated within his essay are not stagnant and will change as his experiences change along with that he acknowledged that the ways he pointed out are ways that work for him and not all artists.

"conceptual art is good only when the idea is good"
