Castle, James

Say imagines a biography for deaf, self-taught Idaho artist James Castle, born in 1899. Say paints Castle as a mute, solitary, bullied child and man whose hermetic representations of the world around him were extraordinary. Copious illustrations range from Say's characteristic fine-lined watercolors, to naive-style drawings on notebook paper, to cardboard assemblages, to intimate and emotive portraits created with "soot and spit," a favorite medium of Castle's. Bib.
