In 1995, at the age of 61, American artist William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In response to the illness, the London-based artist immediately began to paint an ambitious series of self-portraits.
Utermohlen’s self-portraits provide a stark look at the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s.
I say he died in 2000, because he died when he couldn’t draw any more.
He actually died in 2007, but it wasn’t him by then.
