James Castle:
Portrait of an Artist

Thursday, October 15, 2009, 6pm
Thanks to the generosity of the Foundation for Self-Taught American Artists*, Intuit is proud to present this 53-minute documentary film by Jeffrey Wolf. Produced by the Foundation for Self-Taught American Artists, this film portrays James Castle's life and creative process, as told by family members, art historians, curators, artists, collectors, and members of the deaf community. A true case of triumph of the spirit, Castle's inspirational story is one of monumental achievement. Click here to learn more about this film or to watch the trailer.

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education,
exhibition, collecting and publishing.  Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world,
and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art.
