It’s week 49 of our Kansas sesquicentennial video series, and as Kansas completes its 150th birthday year, we’ve come full-circle back to Kansas Territory and Kansas artist John Steuart Curry. Curry, hailed as one of the three great Regionalist painters of the 20th century, painted “Tragic Prelude”, the infamous Kansas Statehouse mural featuring John Brown and the clash of forces in Bleeding Kansas.
