A Portrait of Leconte Stewart Ensign February 1985, 38 DESERT, BRUSH, AND OIL A PORTRAIT OF LECONTE STEWART By Robert O. Davis On a country road in a northern Utah farming and suburban community lies a Normandy- style cottage surrounded by trees and overgrown brush. Bordering the property are a fence and a rutted dirt lane. Within a few blocks of this cottage are forthright, solid brick homes built by Latter-day Saint pioneers and their descendants. To the west is a rich agricultural flatland reaching toward the Great Salt Lake. To the east are foothills dotted with an occa­ sional stone or brick farmhouse. Forming a backdrop is the great snowcapped Wasatch mountain range. This is the home of LeConte Stewart, ninety-three-year-old dean of Utah landscape paint­ ers. This is land he knows and loves. The scrub oak against hill and mountainside, the in­ terplay of rural buildings and cultivated farmland, primitive roads which wind into pastoral views, scruffy, dry creek beds, weathered old barns which seem to sink into the earth— these are the elements which inspire his painting. LeConte Stewart is known as one of the finest LDS artists of the twentieth century. He has been commissioned by the Church to work on the murals in three temples and is well known for his impressionistic paintings of the desert landscape and northern Utah farm scenery. Over two hundred of his pieces are now being featured in a large one-man exhi­ bition at the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City. The exhibit is called "LeConte Stewart: the Spirit of Landscape." Growing Up LeConte Stewart was born in Glenwood, Utah, in 1891, and raised in nearby Richfield. His grandfather, who joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after meeting Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, followed the Saints west and settled in Draper, where he was a bishop for thirty-nine years. Four of his sons became attorneys, including LeConte's father, Isaac John Stewart. LeConte spent many hours hunting and fishing with his father, and they often traveled to­ gether while his father acted as county attorney. During these trips, the boy became closely acquainted with the stark desert country. Years later he recalled his love of the de­ sert and how it affected his art. "I have always been fond of sagebrush," he said. "I often slip a piece in my pocket and carry it with me. It is eau de cologne to me. It symbolizes the desert as I see and think and feel about it." His love of drawing is a natural extension of his love of the desert. Looking back on his life, he cannot remember a time when he wasn't interested in drawing. To occupy himself during dull arithmetic or reading lessons, he drew pictures. The classroom made him rest­ less; he longed to be out of doors. "After school," he remembers, "I was out with my sketch book down by the creek." One teacher from those early years, Sophia Gulbranson, recognized his talent and gave him some needed encouragement. He often sketched for her on the blackboard. Later as a student at Ricks Academy (which became Ricks College), LeConte was the art editor for the school paper, Student Rays. One day he found an ad in an art magazine for the Art Students League in New York City and its summer school at Woodstock, New York. "I made up my mind there and then that I was going," he says. He began to save money, working summers in the Idaho fields and later lettering signs for local businesses; but he did not tell his family of his decision, for his dream seemed out of the question in a family of lawyers. During his senior year in high school, his father pulled him aside. "He asked me what I thought I was going to do with this painting business," Brother Stewart recalls. "I gave him my answer, which visibly grieved him. 'Well, you know you can't make a living at it,' he said. 'But I can have fun doing it,' I replied." Look­ ing back on his life, LeConte says, "That's the only reason I've painted—it's been fun." Around graduation time LeConte's father died suddenly, and LeConte went to Salt Lake City where he lived with his uncle, William M. Stewart, dean of the education school at the University of Utah. Still trying to save money to go to New York, he got a job teaching sixth grade in Murray, Utah. During his evenings he would stop by the Salt Lake City Li­ brary and "rush through their files on art and miss my supper." Finally, in June 1913, after two years of teaching and with six hundred dollars in savings, he caught a train and enrolled in the Art Students League School in the Catskill Mountains to study landscape painting, and in the fall attended the league's school in New York City. This was a period of dedication and hard work. "I had to pay tuition, so I sacrificed every­ thing else," Brother Stewart says. "I rented a top room with no windows, and there were bedbugs. I became quite sick, but I was determined to become certified, so I stuck it out." When school closed the next spring, LeConte returned to Utah on his last five dollars. Because he could not support himself solely on his art, he accepted a position teaching seventh grade in Kaysville, Utah. This job gave him time to paint after school and during summer vacations. However, LeConte was dismayed that there was no art program in the Davis County schools. So, for no additional pay, he taught art through the noon hour and conducted monthly in-service classes for elementary school teachers. After class he walked home with one of the teachers, Zipporah Layton. The two courted, and when LeConte was called on a mission to Hawaii in 1917, Zipporah was given special permission to go to Hawaii on a mission to teach in the elementary schools. When LeConte's call was changed from a proselyting mission to a work mis­ sion—painting murals for the Hawaii temple—the two were married. They built their home in Kaysville in the early 1920s and raised three sons and a daughter there. One son, Maynard Dixon Stewart, followed his father and is now a professor of art at San Jose State University and a successful landscape and portrait artist. True to the long­ standing Stewart family tradition, two of the sons entered the legal profession. John has served as precinct judge, and Birge is a Salt Lake City attorney. LeConte and Zipporah's daughter, Mary, sings in the Tabernacle Choir. Devotion to his wife and children has always taken precedence in LeConte Stewart's life. Sister Stewart recalled that many times she "kept the children in bed until after he had gone. He is very sensitive about the family, and if he knew they were sick, he wouldn't go paint." Throughout their married life together, Sister Stewart handled the business side of her hus­ band's art. A huge number of his paintings were sold at the little gift shop she owned and managed in Kaysville, Utah. She died in the spring of 1984. The Stewart home was a happy one. Sister Stewart told of their Christmas traditions. "For days before Christmas day, our house, 'Noisemakers' Inn' as Dad always called it, was decorated with sentimental Christmas decorations brought down from the closet and attic. Dad's Santa portrait was always hung over the fireplace in the living room. Dad was al­ ways the last to unwrap his gifts—he couldn't bear to spoil the artistic paper and bows." To provide for his young family, Brother Stewart continued to teach. From 1923 to 1938 he served as head of Ogden High School's art department. Hundreds of magnificent paintings date from these years. However, the price he could get for them barely paid for the mate­ rials and a good frame. In 1938 LeConte Stewart was appointed Chairman of the Art Department at the University of Utah. As a teacher, he taught through example, working side by side with his students. A group of his former University of Utah students showed their gratitude by presenting him with a plaque inscribed with a message thanking him for his inspired teaching and "for the beauty that remained hidden until your brush revealed it to an amazed and grateful world." Through all these years of teaching, his first love was always painting. After school he painted and sketched, and on Saturdays he traveled to the rural mountain valleys above his home to paint his best loved sites. During World War II all three of his boys served in the armed forces. Although they re­ turned safely, one was shot down in a B-17 bomber and the Stewarts had no news of him for several months. During this time of anxiety, Brother Stewart wrote to his sons of the fol­ lowing experience: "While [I was] shaving ... , something came to me which caused me conducted monthly in-service classes for elementary school teachers. After class he walked home with one of the teachers, Zipporah Layton. The two courted, and when LeConte was called on a mission to Hawaii in 1917, Zipporah was given special permission to go to Hawaii on a mission to teach in the elementary schools. When LeConte's call was changed from a proselyting mission to a work mis­ sion—painting murals for the Hawaii temple—the two were married.

  • About the Artist
    ABOUT THE ARTIST LeConte Stewart was born 15 April 1891 in Glenwood, Utah. After school- ing at Ricks Academy in Rexburg, Idaho, he studied art in Salt Lake City in 1912, and with the Art Students League in Woodstock, New York, and New York City in 1913-14. While on a mission in Hawaii in 1917-19, he was assigned to paint murals and decorative detail for the temple in Laie. He married Zipporah Layton while in Hawaii, and taught school and proselyted as well. In 1920-22, he painted murals in the Cardston Alberta temple, and returned to settle in Kaysville, Utah, in 1923. He was head of the Ogden High School art department from 1923-38, and from 1938-56 was chairman of the University of Utah Art Department. Stewart taught in elementary schools, high schools, and at the University of Utah, and after retiring in 1956 continued to teach, both with the Univer- sity and privately in Davis County. His on-site landscape painting classes con- tinued through the mid-1980s, and he worked actively in painting and draw- ing the landscapes of rural northern Utah to the age of ninety-five. Stewart's failing health has recently forced him to retire from painting, and at present he resides in a health care center in Clearfield, Utah. In an essay accompanying a 1985 retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City (published in LeConte Stewart: The Spirit of Landscape, Salt Lake City: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, 1985), Robert O.

    JOHN HAFEN: Pasture WILLIAM M. MAJOR: Brigham Young, Mary Ann Angel Young and Family HASELTINE: Mormons and the Visual Arts/25 Fine Arts Center at Brigham Young University. Art thrives by its separate dignity, not by being made part of an open lobby. When art is finally liberated from the society and entertainment sections of newspapers, and when it comes off the walls of converted tearooms, top floors, or basements of other structures and is installed in a properly designed, humidity-controlled, air-conditioned, properly lighted modern museum, then shall we have come of age in the arts. And then, we can hope, the rich collections of Brigham Young University will have the professional attention — documentation, interpretation, exhibition, and conservation — they deserve. It is all very well to say that art should be integrated with life. That it should. But the scholarly responsibilities must be met if the culture is to be more than a superficial or transitory one. The quixotic remark of the contemporary American painter, Ad Reinhardt, "Art is art and everything else is everything else," has much relevance. Another hinderance to the full development of art in Utah, one which has most likely been influenced by Mormon attitudes, is the denial of the use of the nude model in all but one of the art depart- ments of our institutions of higher learning, although other educa- tional institutions have sporadically employed nude models, for instance, Brigham Young University, for a brief period in the late 1930's. How preposterous such proscription can be is best illustrated by a recent student exhibition of figure drawings, arranged by an art professor in one of Utah's universities.

  • A Selected Bibliography of Recent Books
    AMONG THE MORMONS A Selected Bibliography of Recent Books Stephen W. Stathis formidable challenge faces those who try to write confidently about A Mormonism only to be denied access to critical resources. It is widely felt among those who follow Mormon scholarship that both Leonard J. Arring- ton and Richard L. Bushman experienced this problem. Neither of their long- awaited studies, Brigham Young: American Moses nor Joseph Smith and the Beginnings of Mormonism, has fared especially well among reviewers. Arling- ton and Bushman, it is suggested, should have been less apologetic as well as more intellectually challenging. Still, each book is an important work with which all serious students of Mormonism should ultimately become familiar. For now, however, most of the attention and praise is being bestowed on Jan Shipps's Mormonism: The Story of a New Religious Tradition, American Saints: The Rise of Mormon Power by Robert Gottlieb and Peter Wiley, and Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith by Linda King Newell and Valeen Tippetts Avery. These three vastly different books will interest both the Mormon and non-Mormon reader alike. A similar experience awaits those who take time to look at Gordon and Gary Shepherd's A Kingdom Transformed: Themes in the Development of Mormonism and Clifford L. Stott's Search for Sanctuary: Brigham Young and the White Mountain Expedition. Other selections which seemed destined to be widely read include the sev- eral new works published by Brigham Young University's Religious Studies Center and Bruce R. McConkie's A New Witness for the Articles of Faith. GENERAL Alexander, Thomas G., and John F.
