The title is hardly what I mean...
I am trying to think of an artist, with a long career, who's done work in the same style or with the subject for their entire/majority of their career. Just saw Mary Heilmann at the New Museum tonight, whose work is amazing, but I would like to find an artist who is more mainstream. Any suggestions?

Chuck Close?
*hurts me 'cause I love him
- Yes and No. He’s done the same thing, but differently.MrOneHundred
- close.Jnr_Madison
- but that's exactly what i'm looking for, artists who have a formula but shift and chage its form
Hdubblicious - Chuck’s your man. I hope you don’t intend to ridicule him – he’s in a wheelchair, you know.MrOneHundred

Don't mess with One Prick Tony. Don't look directly at him, either.

Aren't all modern artists sorta one trick poneys? It seems like pulling tricks is the path to fame these days...

Damien Hirst?
- No, his work if anything is eclectic.gramme
- Hirst's one trick is "look how shocking I can be, now give me a million dollars," so he qualifies IMO.********
