Chuck Close is BRILLIANT and creates art unlike anything we have seen. Some of his enormous portraits are done in pencil or paint, and are so realistic, they look as if they are photographs. The amazing part of his story is that he uses a wheelchair and has very minimal use of his body, so he uses he mouth to move the paintbrush or pencil.

Amazing. I saw an exhibit of his work at MoMa in SF and was blown away. Bought this book shortly thereafter.

Chuck Close calls them his "heads", I call them awe inspiring.
