Chuck Close
Charles Thomas "Chuck" Close (born July 5, 1940) is an American painter and photographer who achieved fame as a photorealist, through his massive-scale portraits. Close is known for using creative and intricate patterns to portray a human portrait. Though a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 left him severely paralyzed, he has continued to paint and produce work that remains sought after by museums and collectors. Close lives and works in Bridgehampton, New York (on the south shore of Long Island)〔Helen A. Harrison (February 22, 2004), (Following the Light, and Making Faces ) ''New York Times''.〕 and New York City's East Village.〔(Wall Street Journal )〕 His first wife was Leslie Rose with whom he has two daughters.〔()〕〔Wendy Goodman (May 28, 2007), (Buy, Rip, Repeat ). ''New York Magazine''.〕 They divorced in 2011 and Close is now married to artist Sienna Shields.〔〔(Studio Museum )〕
==Early life and education==
Chuck Close was born in Monroe, Washington. His father, Leslie Durward Close, died when he was eleven years old. His mother's name was Mildred Wagner Close.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oral history interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-Sept. 30 )〕
Most of his early works are very large portraits based on photographs (Photorealism or Hyperrealism technique) of family and friends, often other artists. Chuck suffers from prosopagnosia (face blindness) and has suggested that this condition is what first inspired him to do portraits.〔http://www.mosaicartnow.com/2010/07/prosopagnosia-portraitist-chuck-close/〕 In an interview with Phong Bui in ''The Brooklyn Rail'', Close describes an early encounter with a Jackson Pollock painting at the Seattle Art Museum: "I went to the Seattle Art Museum with my mother for the first time when I was 14.〔http://www.biography.com/people/chuck-close-9251491#early-life〕 I saw this Jackson Pollock drip painting with aluminum paint, tar, gravel and all that stuff. I was absolutely outraged, disturbed. It was so far removed from what I thought art was. However, within 2 or 3 days, I was dripping paint all over my old paintings. In a way I've been chasing that experience ever since."
Close attended Everett Community College in 1958–60.〔(Chuck Close ) Crown Point Press, San Francisco.〕 Notable Snohomish County resident, author John Patric, was an early intellectual influence on Chuck Close. In 1962, Close received his B.A. from the University of Washington in Seattle. In 1961 he won a coveted scholarship to the Yale Summer School of Music and Art,〔 and the following year entered the graduate degree program at Yale University, where he received his MFA in 1964. Among Close's classmates at Yale were Brice Marden, Vija Celmins, Janet Fish, Richard Serra, Nancy Graves, Jennifer Bartlett, Robert Mangold, and Sylvia Plimack Mangold.〔 After Yale, he studied at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna for a while on a Fulbright grant.〔(Chuck Close ) Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.〕 When he returned to the US, he worked as an art teacher at the University of Massachusetts. Close came to New York City in 1967 and established himself in SoHo.〔
