Abstract

Featuring exquisite reproductions of the prints together with essays on Close's career and in-depth interviews with the artist and his master printmakers, Chuck Close Prints highlights the intensely collaborative nature of Close's projects. Close may labor on a single print for as long as two yearss, working out aesthetic problems by tretrieving a centuries-old European method or creating an entirely new technique (such as applying sunscreen to block light). According to Close, "Prints have moved me in my unique work more than anything else has." For three decades, Chuck Close has challenged the accepted boundaries of the printmaking tradition. This book, published to accompany a retrospective of his prints organized by Blaffer Galllery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston, and traveling to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and several additional museums around the country, is the first comprehensive survey of Close's revolutionary prints. From the artist's ambitious first mezzotint to his recent pulp-paper multiples, this book chronicles the genius of Chuck Close in the medium in which he has done his most exciting work. Taken together, these prints constitute a remarkable self-portrait of the creative drive, vision, and intellect of one of America's most important living artists.

Abstract

Die Porträts von Chuck Close weisen seit den 1960er Jahren eine große Affinität zum Technischen auf: Seine seriellen Bildverfahren führen eine systematische Aneignung und Reflexion technischer Prinzipien mit malerischen Mitteln vor, die eine Zuordnung zum Fotorealismus widerlegen. Dieser technoide Grundzug reicht von der extremen Annäherung an die Fotografie bis zu quasi-digitalen Formen, die sich vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Zeit begreifen lassen. Sie antizipieren aber zugleich die technologisch veränderte Bildkultur und das Menschenbild der Gegenwart. Ce Christina Jian zeigt, dass Closes Werk für die Frage, wie Malerei auf neue Bildmedien reagieren kann, ohne ihren Eigenwert einzubüßen, nichts an Aktualität verloren hat.
