LeWitt eventually moved away from Minimalist art, as he felt the movement relied too much on the use of new materials. He later wrote: “New materials are one of the great afflictions of contemporary art. Some artists confuse new materials with new ideas. […] The danger is, I think, in making the physicality of the materials so important that it becomes the idea of the work (another kind of expressionism)”. LeWitt famously buried an artwork entitled Buried Cube Containing an Object of Importance but Little Value (1968); the artist’s manner of signalling the end of Modernism. LeWitt became the figurehead of conceptual art with his seminal text entitled Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967).
