“Teichert, who loved to watch movies in Technicolor at the theater in Montpelier, Idaho, thirty miles from Cokeville, created a cinematic air in her 1930s western mural, Handcart Pioneers at the Waterfall. Recalling romantic scenes in 1930s movie posters, the painting pictures a young pioneer couple-a demure young woman in blonde curls receiving a tin of water from a handsome dark-haired young man. The grime and grit of the pioneer saga are missing from this idyllic scene. The peaceful, even romantic picture surely sanctions the advancement of the refined and civilized pioneers into the unsettled West. Like historical pageants, mural decorations, and western-themed movies, Teichert''s painting sustained a vision of America as a nation of progress.” Reproduced from the artist''s original artwork of Oil on Canvas 77” x 59”. Painted 1940. Reference: Minerva Teichert: Pageants in Paint by Marian Wardle
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 Teichert 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. From there her skills in art and design began to blossom!
Minerva Teichert art and paintings have a beauty all their own, her expression of color and symbolism give hope and peace to all those adorn their homes with her paintings.
