 | 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.
