  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN UTAH Avard Fairbanks with models for "Pony Express" William W. Major (1804-1854) was the first Mormon painter to arrive in Utah (in 1848). From Great Britain, he spent five years headquartered in Great Salt Lake City painting portraits and making visits to various locations in the surrounding area in order to paint both landscapes and the faces of other settlers as well as of leaders among the indigenous Native American tribes. Meanwhile, virtually everything in the city of Salt Lake that could be in any way called sculpture was created by either the British woodcarver Ralph Ramsay (1824-1905) or the British stonecarver William Ward (1827-93). The three most significant pioneer painters were Danquart Weggeland (1827-1918), a Norwegian; C.C.A. Christensen (1831-1912), a Dane; and George M. Ottinger (1833-1917), originally from Pennsylvania. Christensen′s greatest achievement was the painting of numerous somewhat awkward but charming scenes showing episodes either from early Mormon history or from the Book of Mormon. Like Christensen, neither Ottinger nor Weggeland had much formal artistic training, but each produced a few somewhat more sophisticated figure and landscape paintings and advised their students to go east where they could study in Paris. Certainly, that is what Deseret′s young sculpture students would do; Parisian training played a major role in the artistic evolution of famed romantic realist bronze sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944), of Springville, Utah, as well as in that of Mt. Rushmore′s sculptor, Gutzun Borglum (1867-1941) and his talented brother, Solon Borglum (1868­ 1922), both of Ogden, Utah.

  • Mormons and the Visual Arts.” Dialogue: a Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol
    James L. Haseltine, “Mormons and the Visual Arts.” Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol. 1 No. 2 (1966): 17–34. Copyright © 2012 Dialogue Foundation. All Rights Reserved • A JOURNAL OF dialogue• MORMON THOUGHT MORMONS AND THE VISUAL ARTS James L. Haseltine This essay is the third in a continuing series, "An Assessment of Mormon Culture." The author, himself not a Mormon, examines the influence of the L.D.S. Church on the visual arts in Utah from pioneer times. Mr. Haseltine is Director of the Salt Lake Art Center and the author of numerous reviews and articles for professional journals; he recently produced a retrospective exhibit of Utah painting at the Art Center and did much of the research used in this essay in preparing the exhibition catalogue, "100 Years of Utah Painting." It seems curious to ask, "What support has the C h u r c h of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints given to the v i s u a l arts in Utah?" One would hardly consider as fields for fruitful exploration Baptist sup- port of the a r t s in Mississippi, Lutheran encouragement in Oregon, or Methodist patronage in Kansas. Yet in Utah perhaps such a ques- tion can b e asked, for seldom has o n e religion been so intertwined with other aspects of life. There is little doubt that Brigham Young felt a need for artists in the Salt Lake Valley very soon after the arrival of t h e first pioneers. By the mid-1850's he was instructing missionaries in foreign lands to devote special attention to t h e conversion of s k i l l e d artists, artisans, and architects.
