Answer and Explanation:

Five things you need to know about Chuck Close are:

Chuck Close became prominent in works that use the technique known as photo-realism, where he presents paintings with a degree of realism so great that they look like photographs. Over the years, he developed a clot in the spine, which limited the movement of his legs and arms, which could compromise his work as an artist, but he developed techniques that allowed him to paint using the brush in his mouth instead of the hands.

artists followed a set of rules to achieve ideal proportion.
