The subject is represented by the succession of serial geometrical compositions; or better, the subject is made up precisely by the differences among these compositions: \u003cem\u003e“if some parts remain constant it is to punctuate the changes”\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, the colour makes its appearance in Sol Lewitt’s artist books with \u003cem\u003eFour basic colours and their combinations\u003c\/em\u003e.
