I have two friends who have prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Actually, there may be more but I'm just not aware of it. They have difficulty recognizing people's faces. I don't know if there are gradations of this condition. Chuck Close, a famous portrait artist with multiple disabilities, has this condition. Last fall, we went to an exhibition at the Akron Art Museum made up of pieces privately owned in Ohio. Be sure to watch the video--it's fascinating.
