Description

Explore the deep connection between art and faith in the early Utah settlement with Mormon Visual Culture and the American West. Published by Routledge as part of their Research in Art and Religion series, this book examines how images shaped Latter-day Saint society during the first 50 years following 1847. Author Nathan Rees investigates how visual media functioned within nineteenth-century Mormon religion, politics, and social life. Rather than just documenting history, the artists of this era helped shape the conversations surrounding theology and identity. This work provides a detailed look at how visual culture addressed complex issues such as race, gender, and sexuality during a period of rapid change. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the community navigated political turmoil, including the practice of polygamy, and their interactions with Native Americans. This book is an essential resource for anyone studying the history of the American West, religious art, or the social evolution of the Latter-day Saint faith.
