Mark 1979

"Mark" (1979) is a portrait by Chuck Close, an American photorealist artist known for his large-scale paintings and prints. The artwork is a close-up of a man's face, characterized by sharp detail and a grid-like structure. Close's signature style, visible in this work, involves a unique process of transferring a photograph onto canvas through a gridded system. The intricate detail and photorealistic approach create a hyper-realistic representation, blurring the line between photography and painting.
