Graduate School, California, in Lousanne, Switzerland, and at the University
of Houston, where he also served as an art instructor. Paul Maxwell also founded

A fine painter, muralist and sculptor, Paul Maxwell has created large
commissions for the Security Life Building, Denver, and Will Rogers International
Airport, Oklahoma City. His most famous works of art, however, are found
in the medium of original printmaking. In 1960, Paul Maxwell created his first
serigraph. Shortly after he began working in lithography and experimented
with stencil printing techniques. In, 1975 Paul Maxwell invented and patented
his new print-making medium which he entitled, 'stencil casting'. Briefly,
the process employs a type of acrylic paste-like material which permits
art of high relief and depth akin to sculpture on either paper or canvas
or other materials. Most usually (as is here the case) an extremely heavy,
rag paper is used. Editions for these unique works of art range from 10
to 75 impressions. |
|
Paul Maxwell rarely titles his original works of art. Most, however, contain
a number which the artist has written on the verso. This striking white
on white composition is numbered, '567'. |
