Chuck Close: Face Book
by Chuck Close
This interactive autobiography presents Chuck Close’s story, his art, and a discussion of the many processes he uses in the studio as well as a mix-and-match self-portrait section which allows readers to create new combinations of his techniques. Close, who is wheelchair-bound and paints with a brush strapped to his arm, discusses the severe dyslexia and face blindness he has struggled with since childhood, as well as a collapsed spinal artery that left him nearly paralyzed at the age of 48.
