I just watched a DVD – “Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress” Got it on Netflix. It was made in 1997, so it’s been a while, but I really enjoyed it a lot. I love his work, and the paintings he has created since his health “event” have been even more amazing and wonderful still!

I highly recommend this DVD. Chuck’s artistic vision and method are discussed, as well as his “close call” recovery from the paralytic blood clot in his spine. Philip Glass provides the soundtrack.

Give this a look. I am glad I did.
