 Chuck Close is a famous Artist. His paintinngs are unique. He made paintings out of small squares and circles. The colors he used in his painting seem realistic his painting where so orginal. He used realism in his paintings. He had his own personal style. However, I feel that he had a vivid imagination to create such amazing work while putting a small piece of a shape together to create a master piece.I would of never thought of anything like that. He is also known as one of the most influential figurative painters in our time.
