Chuck Close Inspired Self
Portraits
Edgy, Photo-Realistic Portraits
By working in an
extremely large scale, Close forces his viewers to focus on details they
might otherwise ignore in a
photograph.
Close shows EVERYTHING he sees!
This includes
body hair, scars, and
imperfections.
Chuck Close makes his enormous portraits using the
grid-method of
enlargement. By using a grid, Close
ensures that his portraits
maintain their photo-
realist qualities!
This portrait, by Chuck Close, is
made entirely
of fingerpri
nts!
After a successful art career that spanned 25 years, Chuck Close became paralyzed and feared that he might never make art
again.
Then, he had a new idea that helped him achieve
even greater success in his art career!
Tragedy Strikes…..
Spinal artery collapse resulted in
Close being confined to a
wheelchair and left him with limited
motion of his arms….but it didn’t
keep him from painting!
