American
Born on a ranch near Fresno, California, Maynard Dixon is best known for his paintings of the American West. He traveled widely, exploring the West beyond California, making visits to Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. He was attracted both to the landscape and the people he met on his travels. He experimented with a variety of painting styles and color palettes, all in service of visually telling stories about the land and its inhabitants.
