Alzheimer’s Self-Portraits

William Utermohlen, who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease, used painting as an outlet to illuminate his experiences and the progression of his symptoms.  All of the drawings show his battle with the disease throughout a five year period, until he finally forgets how to draw.
