President Benson's Borrowed Suit Glen Edwards Oil on panel, 2002 After the artist's grandparents' conversion and following the death of his grandfather, his grandmother and their six children came to America from New Zealand. With the help of returned missionaries from New Zealand and others, they settled in Whitney, Idaho, near the Benson farm. For this family portrait (based on a similar photograph) the boys borrowed suits from the Benson boys who were about the same age and size. The artist's father (in the middle of the second row) wore the suit of Ezra Taft Benson, who later became President of the Church. |
