In the 3rd segment of “Seeing and Perceiving,” an episode that aired recently on the radio program To the Best of Our Knowledge, the painter Chuck Close discusses his life in painting. In the interview, Close speaks candidly and Stoically about the spinal artery collapse that, in 1988, left him almost completely paralyzed. Since then, he’s managed to paint by lashing a paintbrush to his hand. It’s a remarkable story of courage, adaptation, and resilience.
