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.
