With his interest in seriality, Untitled (Irregular Lines) is another realization of LeWitt’s experimentation with loose brushstrokes, this time with a more muted palette of red and blue.
His experimentation with looser lines is a mark of his mature style, as he departed from rigid geometry. Although they focused on the basic elements of line and composition, these works on paper are significant for their departure from the artist’s earlier “instructional” works. More gestural in nature, works such as Untitled (Irregular Lines) are interesting insights into how LeWitt continued to challenge his own ideas of art-making over time.
