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.
