An artist that has influenced my work greatly is Chuck Close. I learned about him when I was in fourth grade and he has maintained a lasting effect on me since. A couple of pieces I remember seeing at the time include Frank and Big Self Portrait. I was enthralled by both his personal life dealing with his prosopagnosia and dyslexia and his large-scale artwork. Seeing the sheer amount of intricacy and effort put into both his drawings and paintings molded my ideals into detailing and realism. When

The Virginia Museum of Fine Art’s Janet by Chuck Close The Final Janet of its series FNAR 377 Dr. Pendleton “I remember Jack Beal once criticized me in print for not having any books on artists before 1945. Jack always felt that being a realist was some king of ‘us against them’ moral crusade. He thought that Frank Stella was the devil or something. It’s true that I don’t have a lot of books on Velasquez and the history of portrait painting and that I was really interested in trying

Born to a blacksmith‚ educated by wild animals‚ trained as a killer‚ and derided by rivals as a mystical fanatic‚ Chuck Norris is easily cast as the personification of everything there is to fear about a man. But he may be worse than that- not because of how he looks on the outside‚ but because of how unstable he is emotionally and mentally. On January 19‚ 1952‚ Sue Ellen Norris felt Chuck’s historic first kick after only one month of pregnancy. It was such a well placed kick that it instantly

Chuck Berry’s career is one full of power‚ hope‚ rock and roll‚ sex‚ and despair. All of these attributes go hand in hand with a real musician. Chuck’s early life was rare for most afro American men in the 1940’s. He was middle class; his mother was a principal and his father was a contractor and a deacon for a community church in St. Louis. With this type of upbringing it allowed him to persue music. However‚ with all this it did not prevent him from getting into trouble‚ while he was still in highschool

Chuck Close When one first enters the gallery that contains Chuck Close’s artwork he or she will find him or herself confronted with enormous portraits of subjects that stare straight at them. From afar some of these pieces even look like they may be enlarged photographs‚ but at a closer inspection one may see the time-consuming method that the artist used. One of the most distinctly unique characteristics about this artist’s work is his use of mixed media throughout all of his pieces. Each painting
