Dixon, a California-born artist, portrayed the people, land, and character of the West. He left California to work as an illustrator in New York in the early 1900s, but left because he did not like its competitive nature. In the late 1930s and 1940s, he moved West, often staying at his home in Tucson. This work features the home of his neighbors, the Ronstadt's. ----- Dixon, un artista nacido en California, retrató la gente, la tierra y el carácter del Oeste.
