Chuck Close is famous for his portraits of faces, but he has a disability called prosopagnosia which means face blindness. He can’t recall who people are when he sees their faces. He has dyslexia, so he was not a good reader or good at math. So how does he paint faces? This book talks about his process for art. In the middle there is a section of flip pages that go through his self-portraits in different mediums. It is a fascinating book. I would recommend it for anyone interested in art, people overcoming a disability or interested in Chuck Close’s life.
