This Self Portrait was painted in 1997. Chuck Close was born in 1940 in Tacoma, Washington. As a child he was severely dyslexic, but wasn't officially diagnosed until he was an adult. Even so, he found ways to overcome his disorder by breaking down information into small units for individual focus. This organizational strategy helped with his studying, but later it also contributed to the development of his unique adult painting style.
