"I got to the beautiful Lake O'Hara lying in a rainbow sleep, under the steeps of Mount Lefroy and the waterfalls of Oesa. And there I realized some of the blessedness of mortals."- J.E.H. MacDonald in A Glimpse of the West, 1924 In the autumn of 1924, the Canadian landscape artist James Edward Hervey (J.E.H.) MacDonald went on a painting holiday. His destination was the tiny region of Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. Looking for new scenery, some solitude, and a change of pace, he was also looking for a broader view of the country that he and his fellow members of the Group of Seven had lauded in a nationalist plea for homegrown Canadian art.

Filled with full-colour reproductions of many famous images, this book takes you on an inspirational journey of this world heritage site, seen through the eyes of one of Canada's most loved painters takes.

MacDonald and explore artists mecca of Lake O'Hara.
There are a lot of great artists in the world. Some great artists happen to be mormon. There is a lot of "art" at the LDS bookstores of the world. Most of the mormon artists I like, are not people you can buy a painting by at the LDS bookstore. Here are some mormon artists I really love: Cassandra Barney Kirk Hays Ron Richmond Justin Taylor Tyson Snow Emilie McPhie James Christensen Brian Kershisnik Very often these artist have themes which I find inspiring and I relate to culturally. More so than ANOTHER rendering of Jesus as a blue-eyed smiling guy. (that latest smiling Jesus by Parsons is just too much for me...) Anyway, I just thought I would share.

James C. Christensen, nato nel 1942 e deceduto nel 2017) è cresciuto a Culver City, in California. Ha studiato pittura alla Brigham Young University e, per un periodo, all'Università della California a Los Angeles, prima di terminare la sua formazione formale alla BYU. Da allora, ha avuto spettacoli one-man in Occidente e nel Nord-Est, e il suo lavoro è apprezzato in collezioni in tutti gli Stati Uniti e in Europa. Ispirato dai miti del mondo, dalle favole e dai racconti dell'immaginazione, James C. Christensen vuole che il suo lavoro sia qualcosa di più di un'opera d'arte dall'aspetto bello, anche se a volte "curioso". Dopo aver insegnato l'arte professionalmente per oltre 20 anni, gli piace pensare al mondo come alla sua classe. La sua speranza è che attraverso qualunque cosa crei, che si tratti di una porcellana, di una stampa artistica o di un libro, può trasmettere un messaggio, un'ispirazione o una semplice risata. Crede che insegnare alle persone a usare la loro immaginazione ci aiuti a trovare soluzioni per lenire lo stress della vita di tutti i giorni o ad ottenere un piccolo aiuto per aiutarci ad andare avanti. In breve: tutto è possibile quando condividi la filosofia di Christensen che "Credere è vedere".
