Chuck Close’s “Frank”: Everyman as Art

The late author Douglas Adams said that art is holding a mirror up to the Universe – although he then pointed out that there was not a mirror big enough, since the Universe was infinite in size. So what’s an artist to do? American artist Chuck Close brings that mirror down to size by making his subject huge. In “Frank” (1969), a grey-toned acrylic painting of a black-and-white photograph, an everyday man becomes a monumental work of art. Close shows that the everyman is just as valid a subject for art than classical themes or the upper class. It has only been very recently ...

Introduction

It can be said that editors function as “gatekeepers”. By deciding which submitted works are rejected and which are passed through for publication, they could be seen as being in a position to shape cultural, political and social thinking, merely by “filtering” the total spectrum of published material from which peoples’ views and opinions are formed. Given that situation exists, how does an editor deal with it? Are the editor’s responsibilities to the readers, or to his/her employer, to a combination of the two, or to himself/herself? Surely an editor has a responsibility to all of these; the difficulty is ...

Should voters have to present any other identification beyond a voter registration card when they show up at the ballot box? These cards do not have pictures, which means that, theoretically, anyone could show up with that registration card and vote. Because it takes time for county record keepers to purge the deceased from voter rolls, people could show up with the cards of others and cast illegal votes. To combat this, many have argued (mostly from the conservative side) that voters should also have to show a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state-issued ID card or ...

The objective of this laboratory experiment is to examine the qualities of projectile motion. Considering the movement of a steel ball in the horizontal plane, the initial velocity that is possessed by the steel ball can be ascertained from the assessed range. Considering the assumed initial velocity of the steel ball, the range of the projectile will be assessed for a variety of initial angles. The initial angles and will be computed by the application of the theory with regards to motion for constant acceleration.

A THOUSAND WORDS

This short 2008 film directed by Ted Chung is about what the supporting text to the video describes as one of “so many opportunities to connect.” Essentially, it depicts – in black and white, not color – a few shared minutes of a young man and young woman, travelling (separately) on a Metro train in Los Angeles; he with his bicycle parked alongside his seat while she has a large cardboard box placed on the seat next to her.

The internet has become a limitless advance of space where individuals can write anything or be anyone. Information is not always valid, nor are the faces we look at.
