LECONTE STEWART
LeConte Stewart (April 15, 1891 – June 6, 1990) is a prominent Utah artist primarily known for his unidealized landscapes of rural Utah. Steward studied at the University of Utah, the Art Students League in New York, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Stewart was the head of the Art Department at the University of Utah and lived in Kaysville, Utah for many years. He could often be found painting or sketching outside.
During his art study, Stewart pursued a teaching career, starting in 1911 when he became an elementary teacher in the Murray City Schools. He then taught in several Utah school districts including Davis County, Salt Lake, and Ogden. He left Ogden Senior High School to become chairman of the Art Department at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, where he retired in 1956 as professor emeritus.
