Everybody who paints a portrait is a portraitist. But if the interest is in making a list and checking it up, I'd say among the late 20th Century artists of national fame, Chuck Close is the biggest portraitist. Among other well-known artists well-known for their portraits are Alice Neel, Jim Dine, Graham Sutherland, Klimt, Modigliani, Raphael Soyer, Larry Rivers, Hockney, Kitaj, Ben Shawn, and the pastellist, Daniel Green. And more. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady [email protected] http://considerthepreposition.blogspot.com/ http://thinkinglikeadesigner.blogspot.com/ Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected]
