Burnside, Provo, Utah.Private collection, Woodside, California.Butterfield & Butterfield, San Francisco, Selected American and European Paintings and Sculpture, November 8, 1984, sale 3482P, lot 2157.Private collection, San Francisco, California.The present work was the study for Deer Heaven, one of Maynard Dixon's most powerful and lauded landscapes. The work dates to an important historical moment in Dixon's career following the stock market crash of Fall 1929. Dixon felt the effects of The Great Depression immediately, with commissions and sales coming to a screeching halt. In the Spring of 1930, he withdrew to a cabin in the remote Tehachapi Mountains with fellow artist Arthur Haddock. The desolation of the region — an area hospitable only to deer and cattle — spoke to Dixon's sensibilities but also eloquently captured the zeitgeist of the Great Depression. As Dixon's biographer eloquently notes, '...Tehachapi's wildness captured Maynard's thoughts and he wondered what these lonesome mountains meant to the people who had lived there centuries before.' 1 The present study shares some of the features that made the final version a prize-winner — a heightened color contrast between the land and sky, a delight in expressing monumentality through a tightly-cropped composition and scale, and the use of elongated shadows to carve the hillside. 1 D.J. Hagerty, Desert Dreams: The Art and Life of Maynard Dixon, Utah, Gibbs Smith Publisher, 1993, p. 167.
