Maynard Dixon

 was an American artist,  known for his paintings, and his body of work focused on the American West.

Sagebrush and Solitude: Maynard Dixon in Nevada

















Everett Ruess, 1933, only a little more than a week after landing in San Francisco, Everett sought out Dixon’s studio and introduced himself. Like Edward Weston, Maynard Dixon was charmed rather than put off by this pushy young stranger. 

The linkage with Dixon would prove one of the most fortuitous of Everett’s brief career. One day the master gave him what Everett called “perhaps the best art lesson I ever had.” It was, he wrote his mother, “a lesson in simplicity.”

The main thing Maynard did was to make me see what is meaningless in a picture, and have the strength to eliminate it; and see what was significant, and how to stress it. This he showed me with little scraps of black and white paper, placed over my drawings.

Art in the Desert

That writing on the bench turns out to be quite a wonderful poem. 
I froze the video and copied it:


I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too I think of you in silence, I often speak your name all I have are memories and your picture in a frame Your memory is a keepsake with which I'll never part God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart

Wonderful stuff to find out in the desert, I think....thanks as always, Steve.
- Ed on the Ridge
