Chuck Close, celebrated creator of pixelated portraits, dies at 81
Chuck Close was amazing.

They had his work at my local art museum for many years, I always walked past it thinking, "cool photo I guess, it's big", blissfully ignorant. As a young adult I finally took the time to read the title card and was blown away. What I thought was a 4 x 6 ft photo was a damn photorealistic painting. Unbelievable.

I was reading an article on NPR after seeing Shepard mention him in my feed. They mention his passing, some of his work, mainly his condition. Then at the bottom they have a section, "Sexual Allegations", that he supposedly already apologized for years ago. I wrote to them asking why? You might as well write his favorite color too. Maybe mention artist he has inspired, na, lets bring up old controversial news. drymount me

RIP CHUCK

Charlie Watts was my favorite member of the Rolling Stones. This really saddens me. 😔
