Entrance at East 83rd Street and 2nd Avenue - 2017 - Mosaic Portraits by artist Chuck Close of the composer Philip Glass (straight ahead) and Cindy Sherman a New Jersey-born photographer and film director (right)
Chuck Close mapped out a singular style by drawing upon elements of Pop Art, Minimalism, and Photo-Realism. Taking the photographic portrait as his subject, presenting it on a colossal scale and then putting it through a complex process of deconstruction and analytic reconstruction, Close created a new kind of art. Antecedents for his approach can be found in advertising billboards and much further back in Renaissance techniques of squaring up drawings for transfer to large-scale fresco paintings. A work such as Nancy, an intense rendering of Close’s friend the artist Nancy Graves

Using nothing but his fingerprint, some oil-based ink and a canvas, American painter/photographer Chuck Close managed to recreate a portrait of his grandmother-in-law. Titled Fanny/Fingerpainting (1985). The 'fingerpainting' looks like an actual photograph.

One of a series of geometric abstractions which celebrate the twin legacies of Roman classical and Georgian neo-classical architecture in the city of Bath. These works mimic the linear formal classicism of the city's architecture and streets and the colours and forms of the stone and decorations (internal and external) of the buildings. These works are influenced by the later works of Chuck Close and also the geometric abstracts of Paul Klee.
The concept of the ideal city is taken from the Italian Renaissance, as applied by John Wood in Bath to recreate the greatness of Roman Bath and its presumed Christian ideals. This dream of living in Roman splendour amist beautiful landscapes was also expressed in the contmporary Latin expression "Et in Arcadia Eco" - I too in Arcadia Lived! Wood wrote of creating a city 'that sets paradise itself before one's Eyes...the very Elysium Fields of the Ancients [which if viewed] from the summit of Beeching Cliff [would] ...appear much the same as Virgil declares Catthage to have appeared to Aeneas'. (John Wood, 'An Essay Towards a Description of Bath', second edition, 1765, p. 238 and 441 - quoted in 'Obsession: John Wood and the Creation of Georgian Bath', by the Buildings of Bath Museum, 2004, pp15-16).

I took this at the Chuck Close printmaking exhibition earlier this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art down Circular Quay way. It was an interesting show and had a few good photo ops too! Here you are looking at a flat wall from a slight angle.

Leica at the Met in front of a Chuck Close painting. The three I posted today had a touch of humor in it. Hope you enjoyed it.
The painting above is incredible when you see it at the museum. I’ve been a fan of Chuck Close and saw his show here at SFMOMA where he had a handful of very large self portraits that were absolutely stunning. The size, texture and technique were out of this world. Once you see a Chuck Close painting up close, you won’t forget his work.
This photograph is now included in the art section of the Italian book "Simplexity".
