Archive Label 2003 (version 1): After studying art at Fort Hays State University in the early 1970s, Pruner became an independent artist based at his Stafford County farm. Pruner’s Man as Machine portfolio recounts his experiences with street people and civic authorities while he was on the road in Los Angeles in 1983. The portfolio was printed at Lawrence lithography Workshop. Pruner has become something of a cult figure in Kansas, due in part to his reclusive lifestyle and mysterious death in 1987.
