WEEK 9

1.Chuck Close is a surrealism artist,but Claude Monet is a Impressionist.
2.American artist Chuck Close has been a leading figure in contemporary art since the early 1970s. Best known for the monumental heads he has painted in thousands of tiny airbrush bursts, thumbprints, or looping multi-color brushstrokes, Close has developed a formal analysis and methodological reconfiguration of the human face that have radically changed the definition of modern portraiture.
Claude Monet was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.
3.Celebrated as one of the most influential figurative painters of our time, Chuck Close has remained a vital presence by focusing exclusively on portraiture, a genre often under-recognized in contemporary art. Since the 1960s, Close has used his inimitable style of realistic painting to portray a wide range of subjects, including friends, family, fellow artists, and himself.
"On the water a few roses water lily, adorn
Bud red thoroughly, color and luster, such as strawberry sort bright-coloured,
A white flower petal edges. Look ahead, again
A bunch of flowers into a floating parterre embrace,
As if the garden three color as the butterfly pansy/fly out, like
Convergence on the wings of blue, sat on this piece of water flowerbed.
Say it is water flower bed. In fact, it is heaven flower-bed... "
