Summary

Roadside by Maynard Dixon, 1938, Brigham Young University Museum of Art

Maynard Dixon (1875–1946) was a 20th-century American artist whose body of work focused on the American West. He was married for a time to American photographer Dorothea Lange. Dixon was born in Fresno, California, into a family of aristocratic Virginia Confederates who had found a new home there after the American Civil War. His mother, Constance Maynard, a well-educated daughter of a Navy officer from San Francisco, shared her love of classic literature with the young boy and encouraged him in his writing and drawing. His father was Harry St. John Dixon.
