Hardback. Zustand: Good. This fascinating, interactive autobiography presents Chuck Close?s story, his art, and a discussion of the many processes he uses in the studio. The question-and-answer format is based on real kids? inquiries about Close?s life and work, and his answers to them. 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. An engaging feature of the book is a mix-and-match Chuck Close self-portrait section. This hands-on component encourages the reader to create new and interesting combinations of Close?s techniques and images. The book also includes an illustrated chronology of Close?s life, a list of museums where his work can be seen, and an index.
