Review: Chuck Close: Face Book


Chuck Close: Face Book
Chuck Close: Face Book by Chuck Close

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The fold-back flaps dominate the middle of this book and offer a hands-on exploration of about a dozen completely different media. It's like a toy book, but not for preschoolers. This design group Glue + Paper Workshop, is really amazing, and know what they're doing with an art book. In fact, this book could hold its own as an art book, or a museum exhibit book, not necessarily for kids. The kids in the interview asked questions that almost any of us would have asked, and Chuck Close gave answers you know he has thought about a lot. I'd love to see more books like this--it immediatelry made me wish there was a similar mix/match fold-out book for Mark Rothko.
