Chuck Close
In this 1996 photo, Chuck Close uses a hand brace to hold his paint brush, while adjusting the brush with his teeth in his New York studio. Since suffering a partial paralysis in 1988 due to a spinal artery collapse, Close has found new ways to produce his work. Behind him is a Polaroid self-portrait which he uses as a model for the painting he is working on.
