German Primrose Original Artwork

7.5 X 8 Oil
German Primrose is a best guess at the flower shown here as it is sometimes hard to know exactly the flower. Minerva was known to present a painted set of flowers to friends, relatives, and neighbors as reminders of significant events in their lives. They are often referred to as “wedding” and “funeral” flowers.
As she would with many of her works, any handy surface could be used. What is super fun about this piece is that a portion of an abandoned color pencil drawing featuring a white multi-level structure and a nearby tree can be found the flowers’ on its backside.

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.
