More quotes by Chuck Close
I've always thought that problem-solving is highly overrated and that problem creation is far more interesting.
Chuck Close
I love sculpture, and minimal sculpture is really my favorite stuff, but I wasn't very good at it, and I don't think in a three-dimensional way.
Chuck Close
I think the problem with the arts in America is how unimportant it seems to be in our educational system.
Chuck Close
I have a great deal of difficulty recognizing faces, especially if I haven't - if I've just met somebody, it's hopeless.
Chuck Close
Like any corporation, I have the benefit of the brainpower of everyone who is working for me. It all ends up being my work, the corporate me, but everyone extends ideas and comes up with suggestions.
Chuck Close
I don't believe in inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. Some of the time you know you're cooking, and the rest of the time, you just do it.
Chuck Close
Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.
Chuck Close
In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.
Chuck Close
Paintings can make you cry and it's just **colored dirt**.
Chuck Close
Any innovation that is evident in my paintings is a direct result of something that happened in the course of making a print.
Chuck Close
I never said the camera was truth. It is, however, a more accurate and more objective way of seeing.
Chuck Close
Losing my father at a tender age was extremely important in being able to accept what happened to me later when I became a quadriplegic.
Chuck Close
Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don’t apply to you.
Chuck Close
Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.
Chuck Close
Get yourself in trouble. If you get yourself in trouble, you don't have the answers. And if you don't have the answers, your solution will more likely be personal because no one else's solutions will seem appropriate. You'll have to come up with your own.
Chuck Close
You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same.
Chuck Close
Ease is the enemy of the artist. When things get too easy, you're in trouble.
Chuck Close
I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.
Chuck Close
I learned you could suffer a terrible tragedy and still be happy again.
Chuck Close
A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been.
