West: The American Cowboy Book

 

Though distant from New York City, the ranching communities of the American West have repeatedly drawn acclaimed photographer Anouk Masson Krantz to explore this often overlooked region. In West: The American Cowboy, she revisits the enduring emblem of America’s pioneering spirit through a striking large-format collection.

The book offers a contemporary and insightful portrayal of the West, highlighting the cowboy’s ranching heritage alongside the core values and faith that define their character. Celebrated for their resilience, dedication, and humility, these cowboys remain a vivid contrast to the rapidly evolving nation around them. Following her widely praised fine art work, including Wild Horses of Cumberland Island (2017), Krantz presents an intimate and artful exploration of American identity and place in this unique volume.
