Movie Reviews of Chuck Close - A Portrait in Progress
Movie Review: Captures the essence
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a refreshing documentary. The camera dwells at great length on the sheer beauty of the paints as the artist applies them, while the artist, his wife, and various colleagues discuss the ideas underlying his work. The rest of the narrative is well nourished with interesting imagery from the artist's life and the work of the other artists whose portraits he has painted. The editing was excellent -- the amount of information was satisfying but not overwhelming. The film provides an excellent overview of an intriguing artist who has overcome astonishing obstacles in the pursuit of his vision.
