Newly Discovered James Castle Drawings, Idahosource: New York Times Drawings by James Castle were recently found by city officials in Boise, Idaho, in the walls of the artist's home. During a restoration, a team of four from the city arts and history department found wall cavities that hadn’t been seen for 75 years or more. In a small crevice at the bottom of a living room wall, ten drawings were discovered, along with an eleventh drawing in a bedroom. All of the sketches were made with soot and spit. The works included a detailed exterior portrait of the house where it was discovered. There was also a series of smaller sketches on what appeared to be an envelope. All of the works will be on display when the restored Castle house opens to the public on April 28.The City of Boise and the James Castle Collection are currently hosting “A Place Called Home,” an inaugural three-day symposium on Castle’s life and works, April 26–27.
