Biography

Painter whose highly individual, representational work was well regarded by modernist schools for its imaginative and skillful display of perspective drawing, color values and Surreal overtones. The Fossil Hunters (1926–28) is a well-known and controversial painting. Dickinson studied art with Charles Hawthorne.
