A Retrospective Of Works By The Late Maynard Dixon.
By Margaret Regan
THE FAMOUS WESTERN painter Maynard Dixon lived the last
six years of his life in Tucson, on land he bought from the Ronstadts
along Prince Road. He painted the golden light of autumn, the
blue-beige Catalinas, and, this being the early 1940s, the still-empty
desert stretching out before the mountains. Chollas and Shadow, one of the last oils he finished
before his death in 1946, is a classic Tucson scene. The yellow-gilded
chollas are thrust up against the blue mountain, which in turn
lies against the turquoise-blue sky. But it s also classic Dixon:

ARIZONA More Confederate monuments were removed in 2020 across the United States than during the five previous years combined, the Southern Poverty Law Center said in its most recent Whose Heritage? report that tracks public displays related to the Confederacy.
Ninety-four of the 168 Confederate symbols removed or renamed nationwide in 2020 were monuments, the report found. Fifty-eight were removed from 2015 to 2019.
