Dixon once wrote about his deeply held feelings about art and nature: “Out of the sanity which usually comes to the artist when he returns to Nature and isolates himself from current fashions in art theory—out of the effect to go direct to his source of interest and interpret subject and sensation without reference to the mode in art—there comes an assurance that art is related to something larger than art, that it is, after all, but one of the functions of life.”
