Decoding the mysterious process of art

Chuck Close

A chapter in Creativity: Unconventional Wisdom from 20 Accomplished Minds, 2007, pp 130-145 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chuck Close, the American photorealistic painter, is known for his large portraits based on his unique grid work. The creative process he uses to achieve his art is as important to him as the finished product. He is also a master printmaker who has over the course of more than thirty years pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking in remarkable ways. His work was first exhibited at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1973. His paintings now hang in the world's most prestigious museums and he is celebrated as one of the most influential figurative painters of our time.
