From the first sketch to the final varnish, Volcanic Cones (Boulder, Nevada) is made by hand. Based on Maynard Dixon's original. This elegant oil painting wall decor is crafted on artist-grade canvas for anyone who wants fine art oil painting with the character of an original.
1934
Oil on canvas
25 x 30 inches
Brigham Young University Museum of Art, Provo, UT, United States.
During the hard years of the Depression, Dixon participated in a federal Public Works of Arts Project documenting the construction of the Boulder (later “Hoover”) Dam in Nevada. Along with the 24 paintings and drawings he created of the working site, Dixon also captured the geological splendor and distinctive atmosphere of its desert surroundings.
Volcanic Cones evidences Dixon’s familiarity with and love of the West’s barren beauty. He carefully balances the details of individual peaks and rivulets with a straightforward geometry; contracts afternoon sun and shadows in varieties of browns, grays, and purple; and distinguishes the foreground with the hazier contrasting range of peaks and clouds in the distance.
As living room wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other elegant wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its elegant character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a living room.
