Some Chuck Close's quotes. Goto "Chuck Close's quotation" section for more.I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.
Tags: Experience, Thought, WorkI'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.
Tags: Figure, Life, OrderIt doesn't upset artists to find out that artists used lenses or mirrors or other aids, but it certainly does upset the art historians.
Tags: Art, Artists, UsedMost people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.
Tags: Good, Mean, SomeoneWhat difference does it make whether you're looking at a photograph or looking at a still life in front of you? You still have to look.
Tags: Life, Looking, WhetherI think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.
Tags: Artist, Decisions, PerhapsI'm very learning-disabled, and I think it drove me to what I'm doing.
Tags: DroveSculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.
Tags: Almost, Another, RealSometimes I really want to paint somebody and I don't get a photograph that I want to work from.
Tags: Somebody, Sometimes, WorkI did some pastels and I did other pieces in which there was just basically one color per square, and then they would get bigger and I could get 2 or 3 colors into the square, and ultimately I just started making oil paintings.
Tags: Color, Making, StartedI discovered about 150 dots is the minimum number of dots to make a specific recognizable person. You can make something that looks like a head, with fewer dots, but you won't be able to give much information about who it is.
Tags: Able, Give, WonI wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.
Tags: Another, Learning, PlacePainting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
