Maynard Dixon In 1891, 16-year-old Maynard Dixon corresponded with Frederic Remington. The acclaimed Western artist encouraged the young Californian to pursue a career as an artist. Dixon, who, like his mentor, traveled the West in search of subjects and inspiration, painted the oil on canvas Apache Woman in Rice, Arizona, in July 1915. – Courtesy Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery and Maynard Dixon Museum, Tucson, Arizona –
