Exhibition: "Chuck Close: Seven Portraits"

The exhibition "Chuck Close: Seven Portraits" features, well, seven portraits by famed American artist Chuck Close. What's special about these portraits, besides the fact that one of them is of former US President Bill Clinton, is Close's technique, which involves patching together small squares of abstract designs that are then arranged to form the complete portrait which the viewer sees. The exhibition will be shown at the State Hermitage Museum through the 13th of April.
