This book explores the place of art in Latter-day Saint society
during the first 50 years of the Utah settlement, beginning in
1847. Nathan Rees uncovers the critical role that images played in
nineteenth-century Mormon religion, politics, and social practice.
These artists not only represented, but actively participated in
debates about theology, politics, race, gender, and sexuality at a
time when Latter-day Saints were grappling with evolving doctrine,
conflict with Native Americans, and political turmoil resulting
from their practice of polygamy. The book makes an important
contribution to art history, Mormon studies, American studies, and
religious studies.
