Modernism Meets the West in Sagebrush and Solitude: Maynard Dixon in Nevada. Reno, NV (March 2, 2024) – Sagebrush and Solitude: Maynard Dixon in Nevada, which will be on display at the Nevada Museum of Art March 2 – July 28, 2024, is the first comprehensive exhibition to document Dixon’s early wanderings and extended visits to Nevada and the Eastern Sierra. From 1901 to 1939, Dixon made several trips from his California home to paint and sketch the striking landscapes of the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada region. Among his favorite subjects to paint were old homesteads, wild horses and stands of cottonwood trees-images that conjure memories of a romanticized bygone era before modernization brought change to many of Nevada’s open and pristine landscapes. The exhibition features nearly 150 of Dixon’s paintings of Nevada and the Eastern Sierra, many of them rarely or ever seen before.
