brief_description
James Castle (1899 1977) never learned to speak, read, or write and left his native state of Idaho only once and 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.
