Get Close to Chuck Close


This here is a great interview with Chuck Close conducted by Charlie Rose. It's always good to hear one of the big names in the art world discuss their thought process in a candid conversation. Turns out, he's a real nice guy. Sometimes the allure and majasty of the musuem wall can make you think that these massive works were created by some type of reclusive savant. Not so. This video is about an hour long and it's very enjoyable and informative. Kudos to Charlie Rose. Topics range from how his thought process shifted after "the event", his qualms with being labeled as a photo realist painter, and what he wouldn't do on a deserted island.
