Castel - This is a prominent art monograph titled Castel, published in 1968 by the Swiss publisher Editions du Griffon. Dedicated to the renowned Israeli artist Moshé Castel, the book features a critical introduction by French art critic Michel Tapié de Celeyran and a historical study by Howard Morley Sachar. The cover showcases one of Castel's iconic textured basalt relief paintings, which uses ground basalt rock mixed with paint to create a surface resembling ancient stone tablets. The stylized calligraphic markings on the bright red background evoke ancient Hebrew and Phoenician scripts, reflecting Castel's signature mid-century style. Condition: Used
