Chuck Close is best known for the monumental heads he paints in thousands of tiny airbrush bursts, thumbprints, or looping multi-color brushstrokes. Over the past forty years, Close has developed a formal analysis and methodological reconfiguration of the human face that has radically changed the definition of modern portraiture. His sitters are chosen from among his family and friends- including artists such sa Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Alex Katz, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg- and are posed in a manner that allows only the subtlest of individual inflections.
