In the 1980s LeWitt started using gouache, an opaque water-based paint, to produce free-flowing abstract works in contrasting colors. The gouaches, which he painted with his own hands, represent a significant departure from his other works as a conceptual artist, which are mostly large-scale works executed by assistants.
LeWitt’s works reflect his interest in the play between geometric regularity and relations between colors. He created most of these small-scale gouaches in series, which allowed him to explore variations. This painting seems to belong to the series "Parallel Curves" and owes its effect to the use of complementary colors.
