Paintings by Teichert are being prominently displayed in a new exhibit opening at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' History Museum. Some of them are currently involved in lawsuits accusing the church of taking what doesn’t belong to them.
They depict life in the West, Latter-day Saint pioneers and scenes told in one of the faith's sacred texts, The Book of Mormon. Paintings by Teichert are being prominently displayed in a new exhibit opening at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' History Museum.
"She used what she had," said Carrie Snow, the manager of collections care at the Church History Museum."She used tent canvas, particle board, wood..." Some of the works on display are exhibits in a courtroom, too. One of Teichert's descendants has filed a pair of lawsuits, accusing the Church of taking paintings that did not belong to them, as well as violating the family's copyrights. The Church insists it has the rights to the paintings and they were donated by Minerva Teichert herself.
