{"product_id":"chuck-close-scribble-book","title":"Chuck Close: Scribble Book","description":"When confronted with the opportunity to make a children's book, the internationally renowned painter, photographer and printmaker Chuck Close quickly took to the idea of a publication without words. \u003ci\u003eScribble Book\u003c\/i\u003e, presented in two accordion-folded volumes, is a self-portrait that emerges incrementally from the printing process--one plate and one color at a time. In the first volume, the viewer follows a series of nine individual plate proofs; in the second, we follow along with a corresponding series of nine progressive proofs, culminating in a nine-color self-portrait. By comparing the plate proofs against the progressive proofs, the viewer can ascertain not only the cumulative effect as each color is added to create the final nine-color etching, but also the compositional decisions and modulations made by Close at each stage of the project. The two accordion-folded volumes are accompanied by a separate text in which the artist gives a personal account of the drawing process.","brand":"Chuck Close","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51112425029920,"sku":"BS-X00-214928","price":185.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/chuck-close-scribble-book","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
