Chuck Close was born in 1940 and has worked for 30 years plus. He emerged as a talented photorealist who did mostly portraits. Big ones. If you've enver seen a Chuck Close work up close, you won't forget it. Here's a favorite of mine. Be sure to check him out on line. He has an extremely unique method of working which I think you'll appreciate.
