Text by Chuck Close and Nina Holland Volumi rilegati a leporello. 4to (cm 34,5x28). pp. 24 pp. n.n. a volume. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Chuck Close immediately liked the idea of a book without words. As a child, his severe dyslexia stood in the way of reading, making images all the more important.  Scribble Book is a self-portrait that emerges step-by-step out of the printing process, one plate and one color at a time. The viewer follows a series of 9 individual plate proofs along with a corresponding series of 9 progressive proofs. By comparing the plate proofs against the progressive proofs, the viewer may ascertain not only the effect as one color is added to another to create the final 9-color self-portrait, but also the compositional decisions and careful modifications made by Close at each stage of the project. Scribble Book is presented in this Steidl edition as two accordion-folded books.The first shows series of plate proofs, and the second the series of progressive proofs, culminating with a 9-color self-portrait. These books are accompanied by a separate text booklet in which the artist gives a personal account of the drawing process as recorded through the soft-ground etching method. A Chuck Close piacque subito l'idea di un libro senza parole. Da bambino, la sua grave dislessia ostacolava la lettura, rendendo le immagini ancora più importanti.  Scribble Book è un autoritratto che emerge passo dopo passo dal processo di stampa, una lastra e un colore alla volta. Lo spettatore segue una serie di 9 prove di stampa individuali e una serie corrispondente di 9 prove progressive. Confrontando le prove delle lastre con le prove progressive, lo spettatore può verificare non solo l'effetto dell'aggiunta di un colore all'altro per creare l'autoritratto finale a 9 colori, ma anche le decisioni compositive e le attente modifiche apportate da Close in ogni fase del progetto. Scribble Book è presentato in due libri rilegati a fisarmonica: il primo mostra la serie di prove di lastre e il secondo la serie di prove, che culmina con l'autoritratto a 9 colori. Questi libri sono accompagnati da un libretto di testo in cui l'artista fornisce un resoconto personale del processo di disegno realizzato attraverso il metodo dell'incisione. Book.
