Ed Lind: Associate Director of BYU Museum of Art - Epi. 106, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Associate Director of the BYU Museum of Art, Ed Lind stopped by the gallery today to share his fascinating story. Ed is somebody who was born an artist, but his career path just didn't let him go that direction. He was involved in computers very early on in the '80s, realized he wanted to follow his passion, and then went back to school when he was in his 30's and received a fine art degree. He eventually got a call from Brigham Young University to be a part of their museum administration, becoming an associate director. This podcast is a must for all the people who love Dixon. This is THE podcast. BYU purchased 85 paintings from Dixon himself in 1937 for $3,700. The dean of the business school at the time, Harold R. Clark made this amazing deal with Maynard Dixon, and thus in 1937 BYU became one of the largest depositories of Maynard Dixon's work.  We have a great dialogue about Maynard Dixon and what he represents, where his legacy is headed, and how relevant he is to current events happening right now with the strife that's going on in America and the rest of the world.
