@konzwambii I sure don't see any of your art. In fact, you have no uploads. You're just a little person with a small mind who is jealous cause you don't have .1% of the talent chuck close has.

Chuck's Great!

[AMERIKAknox]

Chuck Close is one of my favorites artist.

He is very great and influenced the art-scene of the worlde

[anglicanbeachparty]

Brilliant!

I love this line:

"Problem solving is way too overrated. Problem creation is much more interesting."

At least you have to give him credit for allowing you to comment freely. Because when it comes to damn Germans like Gerard Richter, etc, your comment have to be approved by the Youtube section of the Nazi Gestapo before it get posted.

Wow head sounds just like Jeff Bridges.

Chuck close is my biggest art insperation but i dont think this talk he did clearly educates anyone 100% on a single art method. His talks so all over the place changing constantly without really finishing any of his talk idears that id like to be able to test a person who actually dissagrees with me to see if they were actually able to understand and keep up with him 100%

[dethmanrulz]

so then, what's art for you? You seem to know what isn't art.

[konzwambii]

Lots of talk, to justify big vacuous works. Not interesting, and not art. Just work. But the art world just eats up this kind of thing, so I guess Chuck is happy. I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for one. Boring to be told at great length why something is great, when in fact it is not.
