The Kansas Art Reader

Abstract

The Kansas Art Reader is about a growing place of imagination. Kansas as the growing place shapes the details of our daily lives just as it has the ideas and structure of this book. We stressed this for the cover design, choosing the green of our growing earth-space, and the blue of our sky-space. These spaces and the sense of life they contain are the essentials in Kansas; the painter Robert Sudlow, for example, speaks about them in his conversation with Jani Sherrard, and they are important to almost all our artists-the elemental internalized.
