DESERT DREAMS: The Art and Life of Maynard Dixon by Donald J. Hagerty. (Gibbs-Smith: $65.) Born in 1875 in the southern San Joaquin Valley, Dixon grew up among the rocky arroyos, cattle ranches, cottonwoods and wide open praries he later painted. His heroes were Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, Stonewall Jackson, Geronimo and Joaquin Murietta. By the age of 16 he decided to devote himself to "illustrating the old west," and sent two sketchbooks to Frederic Remington. Remington's encouragement began Dixon's career as an illustrator. This beautiful book shows the range of Dixon's work; from tender blurred watercolors to bold, graphic magazine covers for the Overland Monthly, and murals like the one at left ("The Legend of Earth and Sun," 1929, courtesy of the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Ariz.). But most of the book is page after startling page of Dixon's oil paintings, of Mexico and the West, of Native Americans, mesas and mountains. Susan Reynolds.

Synopsis
"I know my West some, but to realize how big and splendid and free and magnificent and God-made it really is, once in a while, I have to look on Maynard Dixon's pictures," said Wilbur Hall in 1937. Added to this new edition are 20 newly discovered Dixon paintings, along with 12 previously unpublished black-and-white photographs, many of them portraits of Dixon taken by Dorothea Lange. This beautiful book captures the magnificence of Dixon's work and his unique personality.
