MAYNARD DIXON
Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) Maynard Dixon Maynard Dixon was born on a ranch near Fresno, California in 1875. He was fascinated with the Old West and at an early age sent a sketchbook to Frederic Remington who encouraged him to pursue a career in art. Rallied by this suggestion, Dixon began to advance his ambitions and went on to become one of California's most beloved western painters. His style evolved over his career from illustrative to narrative to descriptive, always honestly portraying the western landscape that was such a source of beloved inspiration to his life's work. In the 1930's he delved into social realism, even here, so outside of his to then normal subject matter, succeeding to capture with beauty and sensitivity the turmoil in the America of the depression era.
