In this large-scale portrait of Bill Clinton, two things stand out. The first is its size, given that the artist Chuck Close only shows Clinton’s head and shoulders. This means that his face alone is several feet high, making it about the same size as some of the full-length, life-size portraits in the “America’s Presidents” exhibition. Second, while the work is based on a photograph, it is far more abstract than a typical headshot. Similar to pixels on a screen, the painting is composed of hundreds of color-filled diamonds. As a result, this portrait of the forty-second president remains a puzzle-like abstraction, even though it alludes to a realistic photograph.
Let’s explore the mosaic-like composition. When we are near the portrait, Clinton’s likeness takes a back seat to Close’s technique. Close made a grid on both the original photograph and the canvas. He then used the grid as a guideline to enlarge the photograph, transferring and transforming the visual information from each segment to the canvas. Since diagonal lines form the grid instead of horizontals and verticals, the painting is made up of diamonds instead of squares. While each diamond is roughly two and a half by two and a half inches, some of them are joined together to form larger rectangles and L-shapes.
Close then filled these geometric fields with a series of loosely painted, multi-colored concentric circles, teardrops, or rectangles. They resemble nesting blocks of different colors and shapes. At the center of the composition, Close used unexpectedly bright hues to form the oval of Clinton’s face and hair. On the left side of the canvas, where the light hits the president’s face, the diamond tiles are filled with pale aqua, peach, and sage green. The mid-tones of his full cheeks and rounded chin are made up of tangerine, yellow ochre, olive green, eggplant, violet, and even crimson. Along his bulbous nose and underneath his chin, evergreen, eggplant, and burnt sienna represent darker shadows.
Within this warm palette, the blue of the irises of Clinton’s eyes stands out. Rings of turquoise, green, and aqua surround the black circles of his pupils. Each iris fills one of the diamonds. In this way, the eyes form the basic unit of composition and scale.
Now that we have examined the technique, let’s move back several feet. From our new vantage point, it becomes apparent that the variations in the grid suggest specific facial features. For example, there is a pale yellow and baby blue shape resembling a kidney bean about a third of the way up the center of the composition. From afar, it coalesces into the president’s sparkling white front teeth, which he reveals through parted, smiling lips.
Furthermore, colors that appear bright and bold up close seem more subdued at a distance. The background of peacock blue, evergreen, raspberry, and greenish gold becomes a dark blue-gray that complements Clinton’s warm tan complexion.
Even from the far end of the spacious gallery, which is several yards back, the painting does not read as a crisp image. Instead, it is almost as if we are viewing Clinton through textured glass.

“Then they ordered the Japanese to evacuate. All the planning my parents did for years was just going to vanish. The evacuation orders were that you could take only belongings you could hand-carry. I refused to go. I felt I was an American and hadn’t done anything wrong.”
1942. The internment of Japanese Americans had begun. “The Japanese race is an enemy race,” declared General John DeWitt, the person largely responsible for the internment. And, he added, for those who are citizens, “the racial strains are undiluted.” Fred Korematsu, with Minoru Yasui and Gordon Hirabayashi, refused to comply with the internment order, and their case reached the Supreme Court that upheld the evacuation order. It was only decades later, in 1988, that President Ronald Reagan offered a formal presidential apology and reparations to those who had been interned. In 1998, Fred Korematsu was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton for his “constant search for justice.” That search didn’t end. In 2003, Fred Korematsu filed an amicus curie brief to the Supreme Court on behalf of detainees held in prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who also had not been charged with or convicted of any crime. His brief notes that “he has committed himself to ensuring that Americans do not forget the lessons of their own history.”

Bill Clinton calls mail election a challenge
Ballots - Oregon's 19 days of voting make it harder to campaign, the former president says
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
DAVE HOGAN
The Oregonian Staff
TILLAMOOK -- In his second of three straight days of crisscrossing Oregon campaigning for his wife, former President Clinton said the state's innovative vote-by-mail system is challenging for candidates who are trying to run campaigns in several states at once.
Clinton is working to drum up more votes for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is competing with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. The two campaigns are competing in the Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia primaries.
Speaking to about 700 people outside the Tillamook Cheese Factory on Monday, Clinton made it sound like the joke was on the candidates when it comes to mail balloting.
"It's hilarious," he said, explaining that the state figured out a way to hold elections and make it difficult for campaigns to know who has voted.
The close race between Sens. Clinton and Obama has led to unprecedented campaign visits this spring in Oregon, which usually doesn't get much attention because the May primary normally is too late to make any difference. Clinton and Obama were here last weekend and are scheduled to return at the end of this week for more campaigning.
State elections officials reported about 13 percent of Oregon's 2 million voters cast ballots by the end of Sunday. Oregon is the only state in the nation that gives voters 19 days to vote.
After five campaign appearances from Baker City to Portland on Sunday, Clinton made another five appearances Monday in Astoria, Newport, Corvallis, Eugene and Tillamook.
Today, he is scheduled to speak in Roseburg, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls.
Oregonians welcome the attention, saying it gives them historic opportunities to see the candidates as well as the former president.
"It's very rare that someone like this comes to Tillamook," said Steven Wagner of Tillamook. Wagner, 59, noted that, as a kid, he also had seen John F. Kennedy campaign in Tillamook in 1960, before he was elected president.
After speaking for close to an hour in Tillamook, Clinton appeared before about 800 people in Newport.

"When I met him when he was young I thought I have never met a person whose heart burned with fire for social justice so strongly. He has never forgotten the roots of his childhood...how fortunate we are in this country at this time with all the things we have to do to have his energy, his heart, his devotion and his passion.”—President Bill Clinton
Bestselling author and renowned presidential campaign adviser (George McGovern, Bill Clinton, Dick Gephardt, Gary Hart) David Mixner returns with his first book in ten years. In At Home with Myself, Mixner writes from and about his country home in Turkey Hollow, an upstate New York town so small and remote that it has just ten residents, there's no cable TV, the nearest airport is a three hour drive, and deer and bear are his closest neighbors. However, these bucolic surroundings provide an ideal setting for observation and reflection.
Drawing on his considerable talents as a storyteller in the tradition on Garrison Keillor, Mixner chronicles his return to nature at the age of sixty. No longer willing to do the things young people do and having lost most of his closet friends to AIDS, he felt out of place in the big cities and "gay meccas" that had been his home all his adult life. So he chose a mountainside home as a retreat from the busy world, a place of meditation on the small, daily wonders of pastoral life, including the beauty of nature and its constant evolution. Observing the arrival of spring's new blossoms or the sudden appearance of newborn animals (while speaking to life's daily events) Mixner writes as Thoreau might have had he been gay.
However, At Home with Myself is also a look back on an illustrious forty-year career of protest and politics, including his involvement and leadership in the civil rights movement, the peace movement, the gay and lesbian rights movement, and high-powered presidential politics. In looking at both his--and America's--past and present, Mixner bridges today's world of openly gay elected officials and an African American US president that he and countless other activists fought to build over the past half century and the difficult but exhilarating road traveled to get here.
About the Author:
Once named by Newsweek as the most powerful gay man in America, David Mixner has been a highly regarded leader in American politics and international human rights for over forty years. He is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir Stranger Among Friends and co-wrote Brave Journeys with Dennis Bailey. Additionally, Mixner has written for Time, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Advocate and many other publications.
Most recently serving as National Chairperson for Representative Richard Gephardt’s campaign for President, Mixner has participated in over seventy-five campaigns, serving as campaign manager, fundraiser or strategist. Other campaigns include Bill Clinton for President, Gary Hart for President, George McGovern for President, Tom Bradley for Mayor, and Jerry Brown for Governor and Senate.
Additionally, Mixner is a past member of the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Party National Commission on Delegate Selection and Party Reform, Congressional Fund, Municipal Elections Committee of Los Angeles (MECLA), the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund (former National Co-Chair), and AIDS Project Los Angeled. He lives in New York City.
