Robert Maxwell: Photographs

Robert Maxwell

Combing a rough edged eroticism with a genuine interest in form and beauty, Maxwell's nudes perhaps the most difficult genre to master are in a class by themselves. His elegant portrait studies of his family, friends, and passerby are fresh and original and bring to mind the groundbreaking work of Irving Penn and Horst P. Horst. But Maxwell is distinguished from his modernist forebears, aesthetically and by his unique approach to the medium: he utilizes the nineteenth century glass wet plate technology know as the ambrotype called the "black art" of photography for its rich, dark and reflective surfaces. These gorgeous glass objects come alive, as do the artist's platinum and silver prints, in this striking book certain to become a milestone in the art of bookmaking.

Sweet Disorder and the Carefully Careless: Theory and Criticism in Architecture

Robert Maxwell

"Maxwell has the uncanny ability to describe difficult theoretical subjects in terms so readable and understandable that they are given a very widespread audience. This volume is the first comprehensive collection of essays by Maxwell.... In it, theoretical topics are interspersed with small monograph-like reviews of architects and certain of their buildings". -- 1995 AIA Book Awards Jury "Maxwell's judgment appears to be fight, and his views have stood the test of time better than more vociferous critics now on the wane.... For those seeking an expression of the importance of architecture during a time of recession and uncertainty, this book is a valuable addition". -- Murray Fraser, Architects' Journal
