A richly illustrated history of self-taught artists and how they changed American art Artists without formal training, who learned from family, community, and personal journeys, have long been a presence in American art. But it wasn’t until the 1980s, with the help of trailblazing advocates, that the collective force of their creative vision and bold self-definition permanently changed the mainstream art world. In We Are Made of Stories, Leslie Umberger traces the rise of self-taught artists in the twentieth century and examines how, despite wide-ranging societal, racial, and gender-based obstacles, they redefined who could be rightfully seen as an artist and revealed a much more diverse community of American makers. Lavishly illustrated throughout, We Are Made of Stories features more than one hundred drawings, paintings, and sculptures, ranging from the narrative to the abstract, by forty-three artists—including James Castle, Thornton Dial, William Edmondson, Howard Finster, Bessie Harvey, Dan Miller, Sister Gertrude Morgan, the Philadelphia Wireman, Nellie Mae Rowe, Judith Scott, and Bill Traylor. The book centralizes the personal stories behind the art, and explores enduring themes, including self-definition, cultural heritage, struggle and joy, and inequity and achievement. At the same time, it offers a sweeping history of self-taught artists, the critical debates surrounding their art, and how museums have gradually diversified their collections across lines of race, gender, class, and ability. Recasting American art history to embrace artists who have been excluded for too long, We Are Made of Stories vividly captures the power of art to show us the world through the eyes of another.

Entirely self-taught and hailing from rural Idaho, artist James Castle produced an astonishing and prolific body of work with a remarkable visual and conceptual range. Born profoundly deaf in 1899, Castle's work was initially 'discovered' in the 1950s and 1960s, and has since been exhibited widely by major museums including a traveling retrospective organized in 2008 by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His favorite medium and method of working was developed as a child, when Castle began creating 'ink' by mixing stove soot with saliva and applying it with sharpened sticks and cotton to such found materials as product packaging and discarded paper.While Castle is sometimes referred to as a 'folk', 'vernacular' or 'outsider' artist, there is a profound sophistication in his work.Visually and artistically he was remarkably literate, deploying perspective, foreshortening, graphic elements, volume and weight, light and shadow in his work. His use of negative space, investigations of deconstructed forms, and the development of an abstract art based on geometric patterning and formal reduction, all place him well beyond the outsider artist realm. James Castle: Show and Store, an in-depth survey of James Castles work, will open at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid in May 2011. Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 full-colour reproductions, James Castle: Show and Store examines Castle's drawings, colour-wash works, cardboard and paper constructions, and word, sign and symbol works.

Caldecott Medal winner Allen Say brings his lavish illustrations and hybrid narrative and artistic styles to the story of artist James Castle. James Castle was born two months premature on September 25, 1899, on a farm in Garden Valley, Idaho. He was deaf, mute, autistic, and probably dyslexic. He didn't walk until he was four; he would never learn to speak, write, read, or use sign language.Yet, today Castle's artwork hangs in major museums throughout the world. The Philadelphia Museum of Art opened "James Castle: A Retrospective" in 2008. The 2013 Venice Biennale included eleven works by Castle in the feature exhibition "The Encyclopedic Palace." And his reputation continues to grow.Caldecott Medal winner Allen Say, author of the acclaimed memoir Drawing from Memory, takes readers through an imagined look at Castle's childhood, allows them to experience his emergence as an artist despite the overwhelming difficulties he faced, and ultimately reveals the triumphs that he would go on toachieve.
