Detailed Description
Chuck Close is an American painter, born in 1940, who is known for his large-scale, highly detailed portraits. His work often incorporates elements of photography, drawing, and printmaking, and he is considered one of the most important artists of the late 20th century. Close began his career as a photorealist, painting large-scale portraits from photographs that he took of himself and others. He later moved away from photorealism, but his work still retains a strong sense of realism. His portraits are often close-up views of the sitter’s face, and he often uses a grid-like structure in his compositions. Close has been the subject of several major retrospective exhibitions, and his work can be found in the collections of many major museums. He is currently represented by the Pace Gallery.
