Maynard Dixon: To The Desert Again

"The art of Maynard Dixon is about the land. The color, temperature, intensity, and vastness of the desert were his subjects; the rhythms and forces of nature were his themes. To experience Dixon's work over time and in quantity is to refresh our own senses and to remember our own fundamental connection with earth and sky. We might call him a poet and a politician in addition to painter, such is Dixon's power to enable us to feel both the energy and the elegance of our own geography and by extension, to reflect upon the importance of the earth to virtually everything we do."

Utah in the '50s: Cedar City & St. George

Children ran barefoot across the red sandstone. Each town had only one stoplight, but there were two movie houses. The hundreds of Southern Utah men who went to Korea to fight in that "undeclared war" all came home safely. It was an idyllic time in Cedar City and St. George. Few worried about fallout from the atomic testing on the Nevada desert. Competition between Branch Agricultural College (BAC) and Dixie College, and between the city's high schools, was intense. Local young men and women (and many from all across Utah) found lifelong friends while working summers at Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks and the Grand Canyon. "Sing-aways" to the "Dudes" (tourists) were daily highlights for these young workers.
