内容説明
James Castle (18991977) never learned to speak, read, or writeand left his native state of Idaho only onceand yet he created a wide range of extraordinary works that resonate with much of 20th-century art. This book offers the first critical exploration of the many creative genres of this self-taught artist, who first came to notice in the 1950s and 1960s but has only recently been recognized by major museums.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 full-color reproductions and packaged with an original documentary DVD illuminating fascinating aspects of his life and art, this book examines Castle’s drawings, color-wash works, idiosyncratic cardboard and paper constructions, and word, sign, and symbol pieces. As a child he developed his favorite medium and method of working, mixing stove soot with saliva and applying this ink” with sharpened sticks and cotton wads to such found materials as product packaging and discarded paper. These everyday materials have given his works a singular, immediate, and appealing natural quality.
This engaging volume considers Castle’s remarkable art from a variety of perspectives, examining his life, modes of depiction, working methods and materials, and the visual poetry” of his text works.

I was moved on a very deep level by the work of james castle in this book, and when i saw it at the art institute of chicago i was moved even more deeply. the level of subtlety he communicates on is inspiring. there is a palbable silent quiet urgency to these works, and the book testifies to an intelligence that is full of awe and curiosity and mystery. one can see the direct process of castle witnessing the world and remaking it in his vsion. this is an important artist and human being i hope everyone will discover.

This is a splendidly produced catalogue: if this is the only thing you will get about James Castle, go for it. The reproductions aree many and high quality, and the texts offer masses of important information, while leaving you free to make up you own mind about this enigmatic artist.
