My cubism

CUBISM

CUBISM!

traditional ideas of painting such as proportions and perspective were abandoned in favour of a minds eye or total view of an object.

There were two stages of cubism, first came Synthetic Cubism between 1907-1911 followed by  Analytic Cubism 1912-1921.

usualy has multiple views of an object. (i.e. two eyes on one side of a face, seeing all sides of a chair, ect.)

Meaningful, Beautiful Pictures

I've missed someone as well..
The love of a mother is irreplaceable. 
I miss someone too...
I feel for those men who worry if they will survive..
I've felt alone and lost as well..

Painting to photography

Chuck Close

Chuck Close was born on July 5, 1940, in Monroe, Washington.

Suffering from severe dyslexia, Close did poorly in school but found solace in making art.

Close eventually enrolled at the University of Washington, graduating in 1962 and immediately heading east to Yale to study for a Master of Fine Arts from the university's Art and Architecture School.

His pieces blurred the distinction between painting and photography in a way that had never been done before. His techniques too were noteworthy, in particular his application of color, which helped pave the way for the development of the inkjet printer.

By the late 1960s, Close and his photo-realist pieces were entrenched in the New York City art scene. One of his best-known subjects from that period was of another young artistic talent, composer Philip Glass, whose portrait Close painted and showed in 1969.
