This painting was created in 1942 during Maynard Dixon and Edith Hamlin’s trip through Northern Arizona’s Mohave County. “Sometimes Dixon and Hamlin would visit the Short Creek area in the Arizona Strip, intrigued by the terrain’s eroded arroyos,” Don Hagerty writes in The Art of Maynard Dixon. “One of the small canvases Dixon painted there was Gorge at Short Creek. From 1941 until his death, he would exhibit these paintings and others [in Tucson and Phoenix].”
