Four Basic Colours and Their Combinations is an early artist book by the American artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007). The book features coloured line drawings that illustrate a distinct combinatory system of four colours (yellow, black, red, blue). A near fine copy in stapled wrappers.
As LeWitt explained “[t]hese drawings, using parallel lines closely drawn, were used to make a finite series. They also provided the vocabulary for further series. … In 1969 Peter Townsend, the editor of Studio International, published a book in which I made each page as a single variation, making a complete, finite series (Four basic kinds of straight lines). Later the color version of this book was published in 1971 by the Lisson Gallery, London’.”
