Reviews

Praise for Bernard Maybeck: Visionary Architect: One of the unclassifiable originals in American architecture--along with Frank Furness, Bruce Goff, and, today, Frank Gehry--Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957) devised a completely personal vocabulary of building, assembling a harmonious whole from an unlikely array of unusual forms and inventive details...Richard Barnes's ravishing photographs are the first to convey in color the complex splendors of Maybeck's inimitable achievement, and they succeed with appropriate vigor and warmth. Likewise, Sally B. Woodbridge's sympathetic text shows considerable understanding of this Whitmanesque figure. -- Martin Filler, New York Times Book Review This excellent biography thoroughly documents the often fantastic and always interesting work of California architect Bernard Maybeck...Highly recommended for collections of architecture, design, and art. -- Library Journal
