"This piece is important because it represents the broad expanse of the West and visually shows the insignificance of man in a minimalist style," says the gallery's Anthony Christensen, who calls the painting "one of the most significant pieces of American art ever to come through Utah."

Dixon (1875-1946) was a Californian who spent several summers painting in southern Utah during his later years. He was married to photographer Dorothea Lange and is famous for his vast, lonesome landscapes of the American Southwest.

The painting is on display at the gallery, 401 E. 200 South. For more information, call 801-328-2231.
