MAXON:
Art Out of Chaos
by Malcolm Whyteforward and notes by Robert Crumb
◆
Each absorbing chapter in MAXON: Art Out of Chaos recounts the agonizing steps Maxon took to succeed. In the process he restores frayed family ties while maturing into a fiercely independent innovator whose art and writings are as provocative and colorful as they are complex and imaginative.
Excerpts from Maxon's writings, anecdotes from his brother Robert Crumb, and a 50-page gallery of Maxon's stunning artworks (including his magnificent Reading the Cosmic Wheel) crown an inspiring story of a man who bares his magical world to us through ink, oil, metal, wood, and word.
