Chuck Close is a contemporary American artist. He paints massive images, usually portraits of either himself, his family, or acquaintances. His story is one of overcoming difficulties, first his face blindness, and second, the fact that he is a quadriplegic. His paintings are composed using a grid, which he then fills in with miniaturized abstract paintings which ultimately make up the face of whomever he is painting. The painting that I chose is titled "Emma."
Scott Blake is another contemporary American artist. He often does pop art, but he is most well known for the pieces he creates using only barcodes. This picture of Marilyn Monroe is one of these. His style is very minimalist and clean looking, while simultaneously having a lot of activity upon closer inspection. This artwork is titled "Marilyn Monroe."
