Chuck Close

I finally finished watching the Chuck Close documentary by Marion Cajori.

I remember years ago, mid 70”s when I first saw his work in NYC. I was with a group of fellow students and there was a comment about this work not really being art because it was based on a photo and was “just” photo realism, and this made his work unclear to me.

Since then I have seen a lot of his work and I am very grateful for these opportunities because each time I learn and understand, not only his work, but art, perception, process, and my work.

This documentary brings even more insight.

It is informative and inspiring.


I wish I owned a copy.
