This richly illustrated biography traces the life of Reuben Kirkham, an English-born convert who crossed the plains to settle in Utah Territory and became Northern Utah's foremost pioneer artist. From boyhood poverty in Wisconsin to scene painting at the Salt Lake Theatre, from his ambitious 'Across the Continent' panorama to his devotional Book of Mormon panorama, author Donna Poulton reconstructs a self-taught artist's short but heroic career against the backdrop of frontier Mormon life. Includes a full catalogue raisonné of Kirkham's paintings, sketches, and photographs.
“My desire is to paint.”
Perfect for an art collector, Utah history enthusiast, or Latter-day Saint interested in pioneer heritage and the origins of fine art in the Mountain West.
