Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) American, 1930s Poster, "Earth Knower"
Est: $100 - $200
Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) American, 1930s Poster, "Earth Knower". Maynard Dixon was born in Fresno, California in 1875. He was fascinated with the Old West and at an early age sent a sketchbook to Frederic Remington who encouraged him to pursue a career in art. Rallied by this suggestion, Dixon began to advance his ambitions and went on to become one of California's most beloved western painters. His style evolved over his career from illustrative to narrative to descriptive, always honestly portraying the western landscape that was such a source of beloved inspiration to his life's work. In the 1930's he delved into social realism, even here, so outside of his to then normal subject matter, succeeding to capture with beauty and sensitivity the turmoil in the America of the depression era. Overall Size: 29 x 19 1/2 in. Sight Size: 28 1/2 x 19 in.

Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) Pencil Still Life 1920s
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Featured in this lot is an original, still life pencil drawing done by renowned artist Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) circa 1920-30s. Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) was a notable American artist known for his dramatic, modernist representations of the American West. Dixon was born in Fresno, California, and had an early interest in western landscapes and Native American culture, which would impact his creative career. In the early 1900s, he worked as an illustrator for periodicals and books before transitioning to fine art, where he created stunning oil paintings and murals depicting the harsh beauty of deserts, canyons, and huge skies. He frequently depicted cowboys, Native Americans, and working-class people with dignity and power. He spent a lot of time in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, and the landscapes and cultures there had a big impact on him. Dixon's work evolved into something more minimalist and abstract during the 1920s and 1930s, coinciding with the advent of American modernism. Dixon was married to renowned photographer Dorothea Lange for a time, and the two shared a passion for capturing American life, particularly during the Great Depression. Dixon is known today as one of the essential artists of the American West, and his work may be seen in prominent collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Brigham Young University Museum of Art. He went away in 1974. This piece shows various cleaning and house hold items such as a water bucket, a water pale, a small bowl, a mop and two other handled tools. It is signed by the artist in the bottom right hand corner reading, "M.D.". The bottom of the artwork is marked reading, "L.V.". The piece shows good condition overall with no wear or damage present despite its age. The visible artwork measures 5" L x 6 1/4" W, while the entire piece measures 13 1/8" L x 13 7/8" W x 7/8" D.

Maynard Dixon (1875 - 1946) was active/lived in California, Arizona. Maynard Dixon is known for Western landscape painting-skyscapes, Indians. Born in Fresno, CA on Jan. 24, 1875. A sickly child, sketching occupied a lot of Dixon's time while growing up. As a boy he listened with fascination to the stories of the Old West told by the old timers. It is no wonder that cowboys and Indians were to become the main subject matter of his life's work. At 16 he sent his sketch book to Frederic Remington who encouraged him to pursue an art career. The Dixon family moved to Alameda, CA in 1893, the year the artist's first illustration was published in Overland Monthly. Dixon enrolled at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute, but the confines of a classroom were not to his liking and he remained only three months. In 1895 he took his first full-time job as an illustrator for the San Francisco Morning Call and continued four years later with the Examiner. By 1899 he was making regular sketching trips into the Northwest and Southwest, during which time he was exhibiting regularly with the San Francisco Art Ass'n. In 1905 he married artist Lillian West Tobey. A year later the earthquake and fire destroyed his studio and most of his early works. The Dixons then lived across the Golden Gate in Sausalito until 1907 when he accepted a commission from the Southern Pacific Railroad to paint a mural for their depot in Tucson, AZ. Afterwards he moved to New York where he continued his magazine illustrations. Upon returning to California in 1912, he abandoned commercial art to concentrate on easel paintings and murals. During the PPIE of 1915 he suffered a nervous breakdown and divorced his wife in 1917. He married photographer Dorothea Lange in 1920. This marriage lasted until 1935 and in 1937 he married artist Edith Hamlin. During the 1930s he did murals and paintings for the WPA. In 1938 ill health forced his move to the drier climate of Tucson, AZ where he spent his last years while maintaining a studio nearby in Mt Carmel, UT. Dixon died in Tucson on Nov. 14, 1946. Today he is internationally famous for his western subjects which he often signed with his logo, an Indian Thunderbird.

Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) Pencil Still Life 1920s
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Featured in this lot is an original, still life pencil drawing done by renowned artist Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) circa 1920-30s. Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) was a notable American artist known for his dramatic, modernist representations of the American West. Dixon was born in Fresno, California, and had an early interest in western landscapes and Native American culture, which would impact his creative career. In the early 1900s, he worked as an illustrator for periodicals and books before transitioning to fine art, where he created stunning oil paintings and murals depicting the harsh beauty of deserts, canyons, and huge skies. He frequently depicted cowboys, Native Americans, and working-class people with dignity and power. He spent a lot of time in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, and the landscapes and cultures there had a big impact on him. Dixon's work evolved into something more minimalist and abstract during the 1920s and 1930s, coinciding with the advent of American modernism. Dixon was married to renowned photographer Dorothea Lange for a time, and the two shared a passion for capturing American life, particularly during the Great Depression. Dixon is known today as one of the essential artists of the American West, and his work may be seen in prominent collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Brigham Young University Museum of Art. He went away in 1974. This piece shows various cleaning and house hold items such as a water bucket, a water pale, a small bowl, a mop and two other handled tools. It is signed by the artist in the bottom right hand corner reading, "M.D.". The bottom of the artwork is marked reading, "L.V.".
