Mark Maggiori’s first views of America were framed within the front windshield of a car making its way from New York to San Francisco. That month-long trip, filled with majestic views of the national parks and timeless glimpses of the West, was made when Maggiori was only 15 years old and on vacation far from his home in France, but its impact would ripple throughout his life and set into motion his great fascination with the West. Like Henry Farny, another Frenchman who made his way to the Southwest to paint its interesting inhabitants, Maggiori has carved a unique place for himself within Western art.
Known for his visions of modern cowboys and the nostalgic West, Maggiori says, “I love to paint and dream about the good old times. Cowboys always represented, for me, a time when America was still a promised land … a huge dream for whoever wanted it.”
