A new approach to the work of self-taught artist James Castle that
focuses on how his drawings and practice resonate with earlier
masters Drawing on the collections of the William Louis-Dreyfus
Foundation and the James Castle Collection and Archive, this volume
features more than 90 of James Castle’s (1899–1977) landscapes
and architectural-interior views, including works that have never
been published before. Broadening the discussion of Castle’s work
beyond the common emphasis on the role of the artist’s deafness
and isolation in rural Idaho, Larry J. Feinberg places the
self-taught artist in a larger artistic and cultural context and
foregrounds Castle’s prowess as a draftsman. He shows how the
artist’s evocative and unconventional images use techniques such
as a “bending,” intuitive perspective and subtle shifts of
focus. Comparing the descriptive and expressive effects that Castle
achieves in his soot drawings with studies by Rembrandt and showing
how Castle’s manipulation of space has much in common with
Piranesi and M. C. Escher, this study expands our understanding of
the artist’s evocative and unconventional images in new and
exciting ways. Distributed for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art
