Sol LeWitt focuses on four simple variations of straight lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal left to right and diagonal right to left, and the possible groupings of each together. A page offering each grouping as a small thumbnail and numbered pair is preceded by full-bleed compositions of each pairing in detail, worked over until each page is nearly completely obscured by pattern. Scarce !

This precedes LeWitt’s publications Four Basic Colours and their Combinations (1971) and Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour (1977), which combines both variables of color into one system.
