Chuck Close Biography
Close, Chuck (b. 1940), American photographer and painter. As a youngster, Close struggled with learning disorders. His genius as a portraitist emerged when he discovered that he could analyse Polaroid photographs of people by breaking them into tiny grid patterns. Often spending more than a year on each image, he slowly replicated (initially in black-and-white, then in colour) each small square in an enlarged format on enormous canvases. His paintings range from uncannily photorealistic to softly pointillistic faces. A paralytic illness in 1988 forced him to paint from a wheelchair, his brush strapped to his wrist.

About our Framing
Quality: Because we love art so much, we could never frame anything with less than the highest quality materials. From working directly with the best frame moulding manufacturers, to using conservation matting, quality is paramount, and your satisfaction is always guaranteed.

Pricing: We are not so bold as to offer a price match "guarantee" with the thousands of sources of custom framed art in the world. But we will stand by the statement that our prices are generally the best you will find...anywhere. We are consistently 40%-60% less than local frame shops, and usually at least 10%-20% less than other online outlets.
