Dr. Wesley "Wes" Mason Burnside, of Mount Pleasant and Provo, was an art historian, collector, and regional realist-landscape painter in oils and watercolors. As a student, Burnside attended Brigham Young University (B.S., 1941; M.S., 1949) and Ohio State University (Ph.D., 1970). Appointed in 1958 to serve on the BYU faculty, Burnside wrote a fine study of the life and art of Maynard Dixon (q.v.), and he and a group of student assistants gathered material for a history of Utah artists. He also became a moving force in the development of the BYU art collection in the early 1980's, and was very much committed to building an art museum at BYU.
