Show ( YOUNG ARTIST MAKING GOOD. John H. Stansfield is becoming widely known in this section of l he country for his beautiful paintings which he has been producing of late. He is achieving great success as an artist, especially in landscape work, I having produced a number of paintings paint-ings worthy of special mention. The I I large painting of the Rock Towers ' of the Rio Virgin which he presented i I to the North Sanpete High School is ' an excellent piece of art. It was! j taken from a photograph in South-! 'ernUtah, which is owned by D. 0. j Larsen of Moroni and was exhibited at the World's Fair at St. Louis. The Giant Monoliths, recently discovered dis-covered in Southern Utah is one of his choice productions. The scene of one of the Teton Peaks of Idaho, ; which hansrs in the Mt. Pleasant Pleasant Commercial & Savings Bank and owned by Assistant Cash-1 ier, H. F. Wall is one of his finest landscape scenes. I The greatest piece of work which Mr. Stansfield has undertaken is the decoration of the Armory Hall of Mount Pleasant. The sides of which are decorated in a Roman design relieved re-lieved from a back ground of grey-green, grey-green, with palasteis of Terra Cotta, blending into a ceiling of cream and greygreen. A large picture measuring meas-uring 10x48 feet representing music is seen on the west end. It was taK-en taK-en from a decorative painting in the Concert room of the Mendelsohn Glee Club of New York, which was originally produced by Robert Blum, one of the leading artists of America. The picture itself, which extends across the end of the entire hall, is a most difficult piece of art, including so many figures and is in perfect harmony har-mony with the decorations on the surrounding walls, which were de signed by Mr. Stansfield. The young man is becoming an exce'lent landscape painter and has produced many original productions such as an evening scene which has lately been completed, showing the rays of the setting sun on the snow eaped peaks in the mountains, below which is a small lake near the foothills foot-hills surrounded by large and stately pines. Many ideas of Mr. Stansfield have been strengthened by his associations asso-ciations with Mr. H. L. A. Culmer, one of Utah's best landscape painters |
