This painting is by Chuck Close, I enjoy the honesty of the paining, the image is not something that was meant for an ad or to be seen as attractive, but it is real. This man, 'Mark', is considered to be a painting of the photorealism genre, which by definition is repainting a photograph with paint or airbrush and usually blown up, it was done before 1972, as apparent by the wardrobe. I love the realistic and honest nature of the painting, it isnt glamorized by the media and has a sense of authenticity to it that is hard to replicate.
