Throughout his career Chuck Close has done several portraits of famous people. I like this particular one of Kate Moss because it looks very realistic and it is nicely done. I think this portrait turned out so well because Close has said that he considers Kate Moss to be a muse of his. When asked about why his portraits all have a cold, distant feeling to them he said, "creates cold and distant portraits, void of useless tinsels, very meticulous in the details, which are dominated by the love for physiognomy rather than the intent to show the model’s personality". All of his portraits are created in a similar way as well by capturing the subject with a Polaroid picture and the "squaring it off".
