Quote from Parkett
“When I make someone flat I can remember that image. I have an almost photographic memory for flat things. Also, I’m really overwhelmed by the problem of the whole: By breaking it down into these little bite-size decisions, by not thinking about a face, just a chunk, I’m not worried about what it’s going to end up as.” Chuck Close in conversation with Elizabeth Peyton, Parkett No. 60, 2000
