Maynard Dixon author Mark Sublette has called Maynard Dixon the “Edward Hopper of the West,” which rings especially true with a work such as Barn and Poplars. Like Hopper’s works, the painting has simplicity in its brushwork. The paint is neither complicated nor overly manipulated. The brushstrokes are laid down with confidence. And the composition sings, with the wood pile mirroring the roof of the barn, and the poplars creating narrow bars that accentuate the sliver of sky that marks the middle of the painting.
