Haddock, Arthur (1895-1980)
Haddock was born near Clements, California in the Sierra Nevada foothills. In 1914 the aspiring teenage artist met Maynard Dixon who became his lifelong mentor and friend. Haddock attended the San Francisco Art Institute for one month in 1921, but most of his training resulted from working informally with Dixon. He worked both in oil and watercolor, painting landscapes almost exclusively.
