This documentary includes dozens upon dozens large-scale images of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings--a great way to get beyond the "minimalism" of any particular piece and see the creative range that LeWitt achieved.To the film's credit, it contains absolutely no art-speak. Instead, we're told about the sort of person that LeWitt was by those who installed his work, some of whom became friends over the years.That's especially welcome in LeWitt's case because he intentionally didn't do public appearances, wanting the focus to remain on the work. So this film offers an impression of LeWitt the person that will be new to most of us. And it does this without distracting from the work, which truly is the focus of the film. The most rewarding aspect of the film is a handful time shots of works being installed from start to finish--a truly painstaking process, it turns out!
