About this work

This is a close-up of a man’s face inside a square frame. He’s wearing glasses and has a beard and glasses. The background is plain, but the edges of the photo look torn or cut out. There’s a green collar visible below his chin, and the whole thing is mounted on a rough, textured board. The title is handwritten at the top: *"Self-Portrait."* The artist’s name, *Chuck Close*, and the year *1997* are signed in the bottom corners. The face looks like it’s made from tiny squares or dots, almost like a puzzle. Look up Chuck Close to see how he built portraits from grids.
