Sol LeWitt - Four basic kinds of Straight lines - Studio International 1969

Sol LeWitt focuses on four simple variations of straight lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal left to right and diagonal right to left, and the possible groupings of each together. A page offering each grouping as a small thumbnail and numbered pair is preceded by full-bleed compositions of each pairing in detail, worked over until each page is nearly completely obscured by pattern.

This precedes LeWitt’s publications Four Basic Colours and their Combinations (1971) and Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour (1977), which combines both variables of color into one system.
