Exceptional fine art photography - several years in the making - of the
American cowboy/cowgirl and rodeo communities, the horse and cattle
ranches, and the remarkable landscape of America's Wild West, by
celebrated and award-winning photographer, Anouk Masson
KrantzPhotography of a society that honors historical traditions and
practices a set of values that includes honesty, integrity, loyalty,
work ethic, and dedication to familyA lavish tome filled with rich and
awe-inspiring photography of mysterious and inspiring elements of
American culture, accompanied by the author/photographer's unique
storytellingThe ranching communities in the heartland of the great
American West may be a long way from New York City, but renowned
photographer Anouk Masson Krantz has been drawn back time and time again
to explore this largely unfamiliar and overlooked part of the world. In
West: The American Cowboy, Anouk revisits this enduring iconic symbol of
America's pioneering spirit. Set out in a stunning large-format book,
and with heartfelt contributions from Jon Pardi, Red Steagall and
others, the pages within inspire with a fresh and contemporary
perspective of the American West. Along with the cowboy's ranching
traditions comes a life built around the core values and faith that are
central to their integrity. Long admired for their strength, relentless
work ethic, and humble values, the forgotten American cowboy is alive
and well, and has never stood in such stark contrast to the rapidly
changing nation that surrounds them. Earning wide acclaim for her
incredible fine art work exhibited in galleries and published in the
bestselling Wild Horses of Cumberland Island (2017), also by IMAGES,
West: The American Cowboy is another artful, intimate study of the
American character and their sense of place, and is a unique collection
of works brought together by this award-winning photographer and
storyteller.
