James Castle: Portrait of an Artist

Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010 and filed under portrait artists | 4 Comments »

Friends, family, fellow artists and gallery insiders give a wealth of insight into the life of the late James Castle, a deaf, self-taught, American folk artist who learned to communicate effectively through his art.

While much of his acclaim came after his death, Castle has provided an unconventional approach to art that broadens the mind to contemplate.
