Bill Clinton Maquette 2006

"Bill Clinton" is a 2006 portrait by Chuck Close, well-known for his grid-based photorealist style. This maquette, a small-scale model for a larger work, captures Clinton in a close-up, emphasizing his features through Close's signature gridded technique. This style, developed in the 1960s, utilizes a grid to create a precise, almost pixelated effect. This maquette, created as a study for a larger portrait, allows viewers to appreciate the details of Close's meticulous process.
