Hartford native Sol LeWitt was one of the giants of conceptualist and minimalist art.
As an artist, he abandoned the long histories of painting and drawing and sculpture in favor of his Wall Drawings and Structures.
And as an art figure, he abandoned the conventions of celebrity and resisted ever even having his picture taken.
This hour, a look at Connecticut's own Sol LeWitt.
