In this original publication, LeWitt demonstrates the 34 ways that basic lines (horizontal, vertical, left-facing diagonal and right-facing diagonal) can be rendered in four separate colours (red, yellow, blue and black), with each page displaying a single combination (for example, horizontal lines in blue).

Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour is a composite of two earlier publications — Four Basic Kinds of Straight Lines (1969) and Four Basic Colours and Their Combinations (1971). Each left-hand page offers a black-and-white study of four types of lines executed in all possible combinations, while right-hand pages present a combinatory system of lines in the four colours. The book opens with a two-page key overviewing all permutations that follow.

Illustrated with 16 black-and-white images, 16 colour images.
