From the dust jacket: "To me, no painter has ever quite understood the light, the distances, the aboriginal ghostliness of the American West as well as Maynard Dixon. The great mood of his work is solitude, the effect of land and space on people. While his work stands perfectly well on its claims to beauty, if offers a spiritual view of the West indispensable to anyone who would understand it." -Thomas McGuane. Note that this is the First Edition, 1993.
