Chuck Close is an American painter. He makes massive-scale photorealist portraits. He often paints abstract portraits of himself and others. At the age of 28, he painted a self-portrait that is 9-feet tall. The paintings seemed like photographs. As he grew older, his style transformed with his life journey. As we can see in the picture below, the two paintings differ a lot. When he was young, the painting seems a lot more in detail than that when he grew older, as a lot of details fade away and are pixelated.
