	Maybeck: An American Architect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957) was one of the great originals of American architecture, a figure of Whitmanesque stature--independent and visionary--who developed an entirely original vocabulary of building from an array of inventive details and varied forms.
		Yet Maybeck's concern was on a scale larger than that of individual buildings, a feature suggested by the sweep of his drawings (even those on a diminutive scale), by the sense of speed and movement in the line of his crayon.
		Maybeck occupied himself with the designs for this project from 1924 to the end of the decade, developing and reworking an elaborate compound along Bancroft Way that was to have included a gymnasium, a massive domed auditorium looming rather ominously behind it, an arcaded art gallery, and a vaulted museum.

	About Bernard Maybeck \| Abbeville Press
		That Maybeck enjoyed playing the role of a carefree bohemian was evident in his life-style, his clothing, and his delight in all forms of theater and pageantry.
		Maybeck launched his practice by designing a series of innovative houses located in a highly visible scenic setting in the Berkeley hills not far from where he lived.
		Those who met Maybeck when he was in his eighties and nineties were most taken with his childlike charm and buoyant spirit, perhaps because he had come to terms with disappointment and loss or because his quest for beauty had taken on a mystical quality.

	INSIGHT--Reimagining Bernard Maybeck's Palace
		Bernard Maybeck's "Palace of Fine Arts" was built for effect, for grandeur--but it was never meant to be a permanent structure.
		Maybeck saw his contribution to the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco as kind of theatrical backdrop, a readymade ruin meant to evoke emotion.
		Maybeck's fantasy pastiche was a success, evidenced by the fact that the structure still stands (after two restoration efforts).

		Bernard Ralph Maybeck (1862-1957) was born in New York City and as a young man was sent to Paris to study his father's art of furniture woodcarving.
		Dramatic and mystic by nature, he was highly inventive and his solutions were so correct that they have become part of the common architectural find; his contributions to structure were basic.
		Non-conformist by inclination, he charmed Californians with houses that hid in the landscape, and he made generous use of exposed beams, unpainted finish, huge fireplaces and clerestory windows.
