Description:
|
Born on a ranch near Fresno in California’s Central Valley, he spent his early years immersed in the lore of the Old West. As a boy he sent his sketchbook to his idol, Western painter and sculptor Frederic Remington, who encouraged his efforts. In his later career Dixon achieved an international reputation for his Western subjects, which he signed with an Indian thunderbird logo. In addition to desert landscape, cowboy and Spanish-American subjects he painted representations of Apache, Hopi and (for the Great Northern Railroad in 1917) Blackfoot Indians.
