The Life of Maynard Dixon 

by Donald J. Hagerty

Publisher: Gibbs Smith

Hardback with slip cover, first edition 2010, 256 pages, new condition, illustrated in color and vintage photographs

 

“From the beginning, Dixon was different—an authentic, iconoclastic, self-centered individual.  Disdainful and bothered, yet intrigued and involved by the self-absorbed onslaught of modernism in the art world, he developed enduring themes by the 1920s: the timeless truth of the majestic western landscape, the religious mysticism of the Native Americans and the people of the American West.  From 1900 to to his death in 1946, Dixon roamed the plains, mesas, and deserts of the West—drawing, painting, and expressing his creative personality in poems, essays, and letters in an attempt to uncover the region’s spirit.”
