Art from D&C 76
The Vision of the Three Degrees of Glory (and much else beside) is powerful and beautiful.
It seems like it should have inspired LDS artists in aspects of it. Has it? Post below.
The art for this lesson in the manual was “Refuge,” picture below.
I like the painting–a lot–but the title makes it wrong for D&C 76. “Refuge” nowhere appears in the vision and at the eternal cosmic scope the vision deals with is more a terrestrial concept than a celestial one.
This Teichert painting was not inspired by D&C 76 that I know of, but it always makes me think of D&C 76:107
I have overcome and have trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
What art comes to your mind?
An image search found this:
By Annie Henry. Link takes you to an ‘Image Resources’ tab on the lesson, which I never noticed before.

Kinda unrelated, but I’m, like, 85% sure that the original of that Teichert painting is hanging in one of our local chapels. I spent an hour out in the foyer between meetings this spring staring at it. It’s massive, about 8’x10′, and the time frame of the building’s dedication is about right around her era. I know for a fact that there are several original Teichert paintings/murals around town, which is why I believe it to be an original and not a print – it’s really hung too high to tell for sure (the foyer has a 20′ ceiling, easy; it was built before Correlation doomed us to the Same 5 Layouts.)
As for art, I think the best art for our unique take on Heaven and Hell has probably not been painted, written, or sung yet. Working on it, in my own small way!

I like the illustrations from John Haden’s pamphlet version of O My Father. There is no specific celestial image, but the spirit seems about right.

Hafen, not Haden.
