John Hafen<\/div>
One of Utah\u2019s finest \u201csecond generation\u201d artists, John Hafen was born in 1856 in Switzerland and at age<\/div>
six immigrated to Utah with his family. At age 8, Hafen already knew he wanted to become an artist. His<\/div>
first formal training came at the \u201cTwentieth Ward Academy\u201d organized by Karl G. Maeser when he was a<\/div>
teenager. There he was exposed to the work of George M. Ottinger<\/a>, Lorus Pratt<\/a> and Dan Weggeland<\/a>.<\/div>
Trying to make a living as an artist in 1870 Utah was a difficult task. Today Hafen is recognized as one of<\/div>
the most appealing early Utah painters, but this was not always the case. The public was reluctant to<\/div>
accept Hafen\u2019s work and he spent much of his life in extreme poverty, working as a photographer in<\/div>
order to supplement his art and support his large family.<\/div>
Hafen studied in Paris from 1890-1891 as an<\/div>
\u201cart missionary\u201d for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After long days at the Academie<\/a><\/div>
Julian <\/a>drawing the human figure, Hafen would head to the countryside to paint landscapes. In contrast to<\/div>
the rigid discipline of the Academie, these hours in the open air developed in Hafen a looser, more<\/div>
spontaneous style influenced also by impressionism and the Barbizon -school<\/a> artists. Hafen returned to<\/div>
Utah after only a year abroad and went to work on the murals for the Salt Lake Temple. The Paris \u201cart<\/div>
missionaries\u201d came home well equipped to make positive contributions to the local art scene and Hafen<\/div>
was no exception. He served as Vice President of the Society of Utah Artists and taught art at the<\/div>
Brigham Young Academy. He was interested in art education and donated paintings to Springville High<\/div>
School, encouraging other artists to do the same. This collection of donated works would later become<\/div>
the Springville Museum of Art. Hafen\u2019s work always met with more success abroad than it did in his<\/div>
native Utah and Hafen spent his later years painting in California and later back east, finally settling in<\/div>
Indianapolis where he died of pneumonia in 1910. He was an intelligent and keen observer, and today<\/div>
Hafen\u2019s works are sought after for their subtle, tonal quality and for quiet scenes interpreted with<\/div>
sensitivity and restraint. Hafen wrote, \u201cCease to look for mechanical effect or minute finish, for individual<\/div>
leaves, blades of grass, or aped imitations of things, but look for smell, for soul, for feeling, for the<\/div>
beautiful in line and color.\u201d<\/div>
