Throughout his career, Chuck Close has used grids to create his large-scale portraits. In this video, Close compares himself to a composer who combines colors rather than musical notes to execute a predetermined composition.

Happy Birthday Chuck Close!

Celebrating his 72nd birthday today, American artist Chuck Close has been a leading figure in Contemporary Art since the early 1970s. Close has developed a formal analysis and reconfiguration of the human face that have changed the definition of modern portraiture.
