His style is just as exciting but totally different. Amazing man.

Looks like a photo, so yes, no hand of the artist. I'll have to see what else he's done, thanks! eta: Here's the <a href="http://collections.walkerart.org/item/object/77" rel="nofollow">self-portrait</a> I referenced, done in the late 60's. Looking at his 2000 self-portrait, I do now remember seeing this progression of his work, and a bit more about him. Some student I am! There is a GIANT Chuck Close at the Walker, self-portrait.

He used to be a photorealist painter with no artists hand visible...not any more! He was featured on some PBS show, pretty amazing guy. Check out the art of Chuck Close.

I like the paintings by Rothko, where it is very few colors, but with shading and depth to those colors. But the flat, one color with no hint of the artist's hand? (As the prof said) I just don't appreciate it, I guess. I think I WANT to see that a person was involved, at least in painting. Minimalist sculpture is easier for me to like. Hey, maybe it is!
