I had planned a post this morning on the art of Arnold Friberg, based on his own description of what he intended to do with those iconic Book of Mormon paintings — but the day just isn’t cooperating and I feel as scrambled as the the covers used on the 1963 issues of The Improvement Era: We’ve got paintings and photographs; portraits, buildings, and calendar art; antiquities and then-current events. If you can discern a pattern, please let me know!
Meanwhile, I’ll work on getting a pattern back in my day and post about the artwork tomorrow morning — the good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.
