"Painting is more than expressing the appearance of things;
it is expressing the spirit of things."
--LeConte Stewart
"Especially in his painting from the Depression years,
Stewart achieved a a bleak clairty of vision that has been compared to Hopper's."
- Wallace Stegner

Jodi and I enjoyed a great day visiting the two LeConte Stewart Exhibits -
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah - "Depression Era Art"
The Church History Museum - "The Soul of Rural Utah"
The exhibit shows until January 15, 2012 - It is a must see!
As an added unique experience, Jodi arranged for us to visit LeConte Stewart's House and Artist Studio. He truly was an extraordinarily talented and interesting man and an exceptionally gifted artist. We had a wonderful day and I'm grateful for Jodi - her energy - knowledge - friendship. She makes every outing an adventure.
