What Is Art? Part II: About This Work Of Art

Chuck Close ( American ) - Self - Portrait
Oil On Canvas 8' 6" x 7

According to the article, Chuck Close was born July 5th, 1940. He is an American painter and photographer who achieved fame as a photo-realist. He does massive-scale portraits. Chuck Close went through a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 which had left him severely paralyzed. He has continued to paint and produce work that remains sought after by museums and collectors.

His artwork to me is amazing and is a work of art to me. I love what he does and his style.
