Chuck Close, Up Close

48 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7894-2486-X
(1) 4-6 Coming to prominence in the late sixties for his paintings of super-realistic giant heads--portraits up close--artist Chuck Close has pursued this subject for thirty years while his style and media have evolved. The nearly archetypal way in which his life has informed his art offers an easily understood example of finding one's artistic voice. The book provides plenty of quotes and information in a simple, direct style, and shows finished paintings as well as works in progress. Bib., glos.
