Christ In A Red Robe

Teichert was never timid about bearing her testimony or publicly making it plain how she felt about Mormon pioneers, prophets, or principles. ®In a letter written in 1936 she minced no words as she bore her testimony of the Lord and the priesthood, 'the only one great power in the world today.' She literally begged her young kin not to worry 'about clothes or worldly things but . . . serve the Lord and live with his commandments on the tables of your heart.'® (Welch, John W. and Doris R. Dant. The Book of Mormon Paintings of Minerva Teichert. BYU Studies, 1997, p. 146.)

The works of western American artist, Minerva Teichert, have received increasingly popular and critical acclaim in recent years. Today, Teichert is beloved among the LDS community as a woman who successfully combined faith and family and left an extraordinary legacy of artistic production.

Minerva Kohlhepp was born in North Ogden, but grew up homestead farming in the vicinity of American Falls, Idaho. Her father encouraged her childhood sketching and she soon developed an “indomitable will to succeed and excel in the field of art.” She taught school to raise enough money to go to Chicago for her art studies.
