Between 1986 and 1987, during the Modern Art period, Chuck Close created a 100 x 84 in. painting called Lucas I. It depicts fellow artist Lucas Samarasdepicts. The elements of design in this piece are color and shape. Up close the color in this painting is very different than if you were looking at it from a distance. From the look of the man’s face and the overall color and impression that it gives me, it gives a neutral or slight serious feeling to it. The colors are dark and cool and a color in the piece of art that shows emotion is the background is black and that shows sadness. The shapes within the picture are dots/circles. The shapes come together to create a man’s face. The dots that are layered on top of each other on each grid
