  "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
   
   
   
  Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
   
   
   
  Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
   
   
   
  Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.

  I Could See Everything - The...

  'Like all my favourite art, these paintings bring out that covetous feeling – I want to wear them, dance to them, show them off as an example of how life feels to me: dirty, dumb, terrifying, spiritual and so funny.' – Miranda July
     
  'In a time of ironic detachment, Margaux Williamson is a painter of extreme candour, but the violence of her vision is cut with wonder and love. Sometimes she recalls Philip Guston, sometimes she's like a Pittsburgh-born Van Gogh; usually she reminds me of nobody at all. Seeing as she sees feels like waking up.' – Ben Lerner
     
  In a world where the image of a painting on a computer screen can be as real as a painting hanging in a gallery, I Could See Everything, the breakthrough body of work by acclaimed painter, filmmaker and social artist Margaux Williamson, appears here both as a strange vision and one that feels so familiar and inevitable. This suite of forty-six paintings, selected and curated by the Road at the Top of the World Museum for their tenth anniversary, shares the gallery’s preoccupation with, as curator Ann Marie Peña says, darkness as both geographical condition and conceptual idea.
     
  In collecting all forty-six works alongside essays by David Balzer, Mark Greif, Chris Kraus and Leanne Shapton and an introduction by the curator, this catalogue transcends the boundary between the authentic and the imaginary, and collapsesthe distinction between art show, museum catalogue and document of something astonishing that also never was.
