Arcs and Lines is an artists’ book by pioneering Conceptual artist Sol LeWitt that demonstrates, through a series of black-and-white ink drawings, all combinations of arcs from four corners, arcs from four sides, straight lines, not-straight lines, and broken lines. Drawn to the artist book format for its broad accessibility, LeWitt explored notions of seriality and permutation, seeing the page as a rich site for experimental sequences of line, color, and geometric forms.

In Four Basic Kinds of Straight Lines, 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. 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.

One of LeWitt’s earliest artist’s books which were an important extension of his practice (another copy of this book was included in the artist’s 1978 MoMA retrospective). This is Lewitt’s fifth book, but the third standalone publication not associated with exhibition or periodical. The book presents four simple variations of straight lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal left to right and diagonal right to left, and the possible pairings of each.
