Massive Thumbs Up!

Hello all you art lovers

I just got back from visiting the Chuck Close exhibit at the Austin Museum of Art. Wow, the work is amazing. The photos create  a strange hyper-hyper-real versions of  faces. It’s almost as if you can see the images better than the “real life” around them.  The images are daguerreotypes portraits. There are also a few tapestries that are very interesting. The show runs from August 22 – November 8th.  On the Larry Scale I give it a Massive Thumbs Up!
