Oh God Chuck i want to cry!
Facing today such a big problem that came up to me, i still don't know how, "by luck", i ended up seeing this video !!!!
Thank you for the inspiration!
inspiration is for amateurs
@@mcsegobia haha, yes that's what he says, so to him I am an amateur, we are not all thriving in the same ways
@@MusicAndOtherColors lol, neither am I! I need to get to work some more! Have a great Sunday!
I remembered my photog history professor showed this in class... Amazing work!!! And it is the definition of inspiring watching someone like him doing what he is doing...
Can you imagine ladies and gentlemen, reading a letter at age 14 from your future self, telling you that you will become a quadriplegic?
The past 6 months chucks picture ive had my hole life; I originally started Arguing with him, the way his eyes convinct me, im an only child like him... we have so much in common, Hes with the Lord, looking over me, recently he just is right there by my side; one of the hardest times of my life, Hes amazing! All the praise Goes to God! R.i.p Chuck! See you in 5 mins, in my bedroom, One of His pictures, His eyes, They stare right through my everything! My dyslexia is terrible, we have so much in common, I swear ive liked Chuck since I was a kid...
As and adult, Hes got some serious capacity, Mentally just a genuis...
This is one of the best stories in American history. His life was tragic but that is completely subjective. I'm beyond in ah of this man story. We are lucky to have him still here with us.
Chuck Close is brilliant, Ive loved his work since i was a young artist myself, bless you and keep up your spirit as well as the beautiful work you create..........

One of the Best, most inspiring artists of our time! Excellent, profound advice!
Super to good 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you so much, Chuck. I'd love have the written words.
Well said sir.
Picasso said “When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”
In other words, artists know each other and have well-developed B.S. detectors, while those who make money off of artist's efforts know what the buying market swoons over, and what inflates valuations beyond all reason. Working artists in the 20th Century often traded works, in part recognizing any one might become famous, and so were enhancing the possible retirement funds of one another. They weren't speculating, but sharing the wealth. No B.S. there.
He is my inspiration!!!! Wow he is amazing. i love art so much
Amazing man
Some of the best minds and most talented people meet much success without the help of college
Well that's a silly statement. Of course they do. People that go to college are attempting to learn - not become something they're not. You have a complete misunderstanding of Education. College has nothing to do with success - it has to do with expanding the mind. YOU have a problem with expanding. And I hope the "Auto Body Repair Shop" you've found in your 'education' has helped you.
Chuck Close, you are beautiful. Thank you.
beautiful
This rings soo true. Thanks Chuck!
Inspiring encounter with a courageous and talented man.
Unfortunately the ad which precedes it is extremely irritating.
Somehow, the audience for whom this "letter-to-self"'s message is applicable feels much wider than just Close's teenaged self, alone.
Enriching.
does chuck do all of his work himself??
Absolutely
I heard on a radio show that he has face recognition blindness, it is so ironic that he is a portrait painter.
inspiration is for amatures..
Why was this on 8chan
Wonderful :-)
+cool
Why does this guy remind me of Carl Manfred from Detroit: Become Human?
ditto
"Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work."
That's awesome! I'm totally going to quote that in the coment section so people know that I'm not a mere, common, to be looked down upon, loser, amateur. As if!
Can someone make a "self_portrait" of another person?
Craig Tinsky made this HGkpXTkklIo
Sure I can help with that, just go to my site and learn how to do it yourself. I hope I can be of help.

Keep bathrobe on when exiting the shower

His spirit is looming over my life, we both have struggled and have si much in common, the past 6 months, you should see how Gods got him working in my life, convicting me, and I dont blame him, like its sounds crazy but to me its just a gift from God actually I take it seriously, what i overcame this past 8 months, i had a 5yr battle u was burning in pain everyday and like its The Holy Spirit coming through him, i wish you could see him speak to my heart ❤️
His art and life ✨️ in this one picture i have, blows me away his eyes, its unbelievable 😳 and like i reapect him! And God so its Hes right there with Us, maybe u can get the picture and i guarantee you the same thing with happen to you And Is Powerful! His life struggles, he is more than an overcomer! I level with him ... in spirit ✨️ sounds weird... but its true 💯
