Sodbuster, Luis Jimenez, 1982-1984
Luis Jimenez is a well-known contemporary Latino artist who was raised in El Paso, Texas. This is a sculpture of a plowman behind a team of massive oxen ripping through the soil. Mr. Jimenez uses fiberglass to make his sculptures and often paints them in bright, shiny colors. How does this sculpture of a plowman relate to the economy of Kansas?
