ok, so just finished a get-together with an ex high school friend from Dominican Republic visiting from college in Miami… and I thought, what better thing to do than to “Tumblr”?!

I really have nothing interesting to say, so I thought of improvising..

On around April last year I visited the MET for a school project, and I today just found the pictures on a memory card…

Long story short, I want to show you this painting by Chuck Close called “Lucas” drawn around 1986-87 (Oil and Pencil on Canvas) that I really liked.

He is what google (and the world) calls a “photorealist”, which means he makes paintings from photographs.
I loved this painting because it is made up of thousands of little squares, which in theselves are like mini-paintings. No two squares are alike. Up there you see a picture and a little close up of a tiny portion of the painting.

I dont know, I really really liked it. And on that subject, on the same trip, I saw a painting by Salvador Dali called “Madonna” which reminded me a lot of “Lucas” by the way it was painted. Up there there is the full anf close up..

Does anyone know how to upload pictures to the “text” you are writing? I didnt know how and had to put them all up there at the top…
