About this video...
Since 1969, when Chuck Close's first series of black-and-white heads was exhibited, his paintings have fascinated the public. At first severe and confrontational, his portraits now explode with their mosaic surfaces. At age 48, Close suffered a collapse of the spinal artery which left him partially paralyzed. His recovery and achievement in painting is nothing short of miraculous. Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress traces the artists evolution and follows Close into the contemporary New York art community
