William Utermohlen

Studio 360

Painter William Utermohlen was old-fashioned – and completely unknown for most of his career. But the self-portraits he made while he was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease made him a star. Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky traces the history of an artist who was always a little out of step with his generation.
