On View
Not on viewWhether working in his home state of Kansas or in Minnesota, where he later resided, Edmund Kopietz paid tribute to his rural roots. The barns, fields, and silos in this painting figure into the many areas of study in Kansas State University’s College of Agriculture, which uses an agricultural complex north of the Manhattan campus for teaching and research.
