James Castle's Landscapes

In this virtual field trip, Chief Curator Alison Amick takes a closer look at an untitled landscape drawing by artist James Castle. This piece was featured in the traveling exhibition "Outsider Art: The Collection of Victor F. Keen," on view at Intuit in 2021. Amick gives insights into Castle's life and artistic practice.
Intuit’s virtual field trips are supported in part by a grant from the Art Dealers Association of America Foundation.
