“The abiding theme of early settlers and pioneers coming from around the world to the Great Salt Lake has given us several impressive paintings by Minerva Teichert. The tall and leaning wagons making their way through the canyons are endearing to see. This beautiful piece is a perfect example of Minerva Teichert’s striking scenes and bold colors.” “There are few artists who have captured the spirit of the great Latter-day Saint migration as well as Minerva Teichert did. Her equal portrayal of the heroic effort made by men, women and children in the struggle to follow their faith is both accurate and deserving. All who traveled the Mormon Trail sacrificed while enduring both hardship and the uplifting hope that came through the Spirit. Minerva painted over 90 murals throughout Utah, Idaho andWyoming. Her work in the Utah State Capitol building is one example of her meaningful contribution to artistically document the American experience for most Latter-day Saints at the time. Minerva painted many scenes that included covered wagons of the Latter-day Saint movement. She was contemporaries with other artists like of C.C.A. Christiansen, Avard Fairbanks, John Hafen, Maynard Dixon, George Ottinger and others. Minerva Teichert’s art stands out in its style, colors, and proud historic moments, which has become a hallmark of her work. Covered Wagons by Minerva Teichert is one of many examples of how she was able to capture the moment and vibrant landscape of an otherwise brand new world.” Original artwork of Oil on Canvas. Painted 1928. Reference: Minervateichertgallery.com
1888-1976
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.
