Famous Work Of ArtNicole Raccuia
  • Chuck Close has created many pieces of art. One
    of his most famous works or art is a portrait
    named, Bill. Like all of Closes other work,
    the method he used was painting on huge, diagonal
    grid. To the left, is my creation of a turtle
    using Closes style of art.

The life of Chuck Close
  • Chuck Close was born in Washington in 1940. At
    the age 4, Close knew he was going to become an
    artist. In his teens, he wasnt very skilled at
    any sports and was a slow learner. After
    graduating out of the University of Washington,
    he went to the Yale Graduate School and got a
    grant to study in Europe. In 1967 he moved to New
    York City and painted from black and white
    photographs. From 1967-1987 he became world
    famous for the huge portraits he made. In the end
    of 1988, because of an incident, he was
    paralyzed. Even though Chuck has some
    disabilities, it does not prevent him from being
    an artist. Chuck Close is still alive today and
    is still creating many great pieces of art.

Style of Art
  • Chuck Closes style of art was usually
    portraits or big pictures of faces. He created
    mostly works of art of himself and usually the
    same head-on, pass-port photo view, unsmiling
    lips and dead pan eyes. Because of his
    disability, he sits on a forklift type of chair.
    He moves up and down painting on a huge portrait
    (grid paper). He uses finger prints, crayon,
    airbrush, and paint on his creations. As a
    result, Chuck Close is one fine artist.

My Opinion
  • I think I like Chuck Closes art work because his
    creations of art are so unique and different. He
    used fingerprints and absurd colors to come out
    with a creation. I would recommend picking Chuck
    Close to research about because I have never seen
    such a cool and different style of art.
