Maxwell Alexander Gallery was proud to represent both the buyer and seller in the transaction of this monumental painting by Maynard Dixon, “Cowboy and Packhorse.”
From the book "Sagebrush and Solitude, Maynard Dixon in Nevada," Don Hagerty wrote: At some point Dixon witnessed a cowboy and his packhorse carrying supplies to an outlying camp. At first glance, the image seems consistent with Dixon's illustration approach, but a closer examination reveals the hallmarks of modernism, with the reduction of detail, the sculptural modeling, and the organization of space.
This painting can also be seen on the back cover of, "The Art of Maynard Dixon" by Don Hagerty. Most recently, "Cowboy and Packhorse" was exhibited at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, NV.
