Compare and contrast the use of line in the works of Vincent van Gogh and Sol LeWitt

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Both use line that is autographic, that is, recognizably their own.
2. Van Gogh's line is loose, free, expressive and energetic, applied with thick, bold strokes of impasto.
3. In paintings such as The Starry Night, Van Gogh expressed deep emotions that he described as almost a cry of anguish.
4. Le Witt's line expresses a different personality. In works such as Wall Drawing No. 681 C, his line is precise, controlled, mathematical, and rationally organized,.
