More Chuck Close, this man is a artistic genius -- especially when you think about his mental disability.

Chuck Close
Chuck Close; Realism in art and design has been inspired by photography. Once upon a time painters tried to paint as real as they could, skills slowly improved and now people spend all their lives trying to create 'perfection' that resembles life; photography.
"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself." - Chuck Close Colors Wall, Walker Art Center, Family Art, Art Appreciation, Mural Painting

While you may already know Chuck Close as that incredibly talented American artist who creates those huge photorealistic paintings, you may never have seen this mind-blowing piece. Called Fanny/Fingerpainting, it's a beautiful portrait of Close's wife’s late grandmother Fanny created with fingerprints!

Chuck Close - I really like the way every square have different colours but have the same colour schemes to make a face.
