Artist I Admire: Harry Anderson

Harry Anderson's paintings are used often when we teach in the LDS Church, and not many members know he was a 7th Day Adventist. "In the mid-Sixties, he expanded his religious horizons to include the Mormon Church, for whom he created a mural for the 1964 New York World's Fair. It was done in oil paints which he'd abandoned early is his career due to allergies to turpentine. New thinner products allowed him to explore the medium again. He produced a dozen more oil paintings for the Mormons, many of which have been reproduced in one of their publications entitled the Family Home Evening."

And his paintings are everywhere, in visitor's centers across the country.
