Rauschenberg on reading difficulty

In a 1990 interview, Robert Rauschenberg described himself as having “extreme” dyslexia and said that reading was difficult for him even though he could write well. This is documented testimony about his own experience. By contrast, spelling errors in Warhol’s notebooks or retellings about Picasso being “reading blind” are not enough to diagnose them retrospectively; the Picasso claim could not be traced to a reliable biographical source.
