Many of his works were created from elaborate and detailed instructions rather than his own hand or labor. His (in)famous large-scale "wall drawings" for example, destabilized and expanded the conventional definition of authorship as they were executed by teams using instructions. Furthermore these classic "wall drawings" were often temporary - only lasting the duration of an exhibition. 

Influenced by his time as an architect, LeWitt's artistic practice was rooted in a deep appreciation of geometric forms. Utilizing ratios, patterns, and formulas, the artist would geometric, abstract works across many mediums.

"Forms Derived from a Cube" is an exciting series that exemplifies LeWitt's nearly scientific approach to exploring shape. This work features two stacked geometric forms surrounded by grid-based drafting reminiscent of a blueprint.

Here the shapes are transformed through a series of lines and angles that divide the forms into fractions as if to reveal their complete geometric potential. Through his meticulous line work, LeWitt creates an illusion of depth and space that transcends the work's two-dimensional surface.
