Meet Chuck Close

[cclark413]

I just wanted to share one of my favorite artists. I was introduced to some of Chuck Close's work early on in high school. His art takes impressionism, abstract, and realism and bridges them all together.








Self Portrait


Love his style, small imperfections to make perfection.



Bet you thought this was a picture.... wrong. All hand crafted.

Chuck Close has always been a favorite of mine. What a master of his field!

I love his daguerreotypes

Close suffered from spinal artery collapse that made him paralyzed from his neck down. But it did not stop him from creating more of his signature portraits. He remained determined to practice painting even if he has to fasten the brush onto his wrist.
