Solomon " Sol " LeWitt ( 1928 - 2007 ) was an American artist of a Russian Jewish background, linked to various movements including Conceptual Art and Minimalism. LeWitt came to fame in the late 1960's with his " Wall Drawings " and " Structures " but was prolific in a wide range of mediums including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting, installation, and artist's books.
