Enjoyed this interview on Fresh Air with Chuck Close where he talks about grids, among other things. One thing I remember, Close says that he is basically a sloppy, disorganized, maybe lazy human being, and so, by employing the grid in his giant methodical paintings, he could go against his own nature and forge something elegant and new. (I'm paraphrasing big time, but you get the idea.)
