Painted in 1944, a year before Maynard Dixon died in Arizona, Shadow Side represents one of the last paintings made by the artist in Utah. “Whether he worked in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona or in the high mesa country of Utah, Dixon continued to paint canvases between 1943 and 1945 with that unique spacing, rhythmic pattern, and strong line and color that were his trademarks, including…Shadow Side.”
