"Cowboys do not look at their profession as a career; it is a lifestyle that coincidentally pays. It is self-reliance elevated to an art." — Taylor Sheirdan "This modern, refreshing examination of today’s American cowboys and cowgirls is something people will want to revisit time and time." — Yahoo “...captures the pioneering spirit of modern cowboys and cowgirls, turning the camera on high-stakes rodeos, hard-working ranchers and horseback rides across stunning desert landscapes.” — Ailbhe Macmahon, Daily Mail "Cowboys may be innately photogenic, but French photographer Anouk Krantz has succeeded in capturing their lives and surroundings like no other." — Graphius Magazine Having earned wide acclaim for her bestselling Wild Horses of Cumberland Island (2017) and West: The American Cowboy (2019), this new collection of work that is American Cowboys is Anouk’s strongest work yet.

Review: Great Gift for Photography/Western Lovers! 🎞 - I bought this for my father-in-law (who has been on many trips out west but is getting older and doesn't want to travel much anymore) for his birthday. He was so impressed! He keeps it out in the living room as a coffee table book now without the sleeve and it looks great. The photos are beautiful. He asked where we were able to find such a cool book and couldn't believe it was desertcart! He loved it. I may buy one for our own home to display! Great gift idea for any photography or western lover.

Such a beautiful and cool book
So many 5 star reviews, this one is a keeper. I really enjoyed the beautiful pictures and small stories that are sprinkled in the pages. The pictures are so well done, pretty, deep, and full of great moments in time for the cowboys and scenes the author is highlighting. I would recommend this coffee table book to any fan of the western ideology.

Stunning work of art
American Cowboys is a stunning and inspiring collection of black and white photography. The images are at once expansive and awesome as they capture the hugeness of western valleys, moody skies and spectacular mountain ranges. And, they are also intimate and personal as they reveal close-up faces - tired, excited, exhausted - lit only by candlelight or the strike of a match to the end of a cigarette. The closeness and honesty of these portraits reveals a mutual respect and appreciation between the photographer and her subjects. This is the ultimate gift for anyone who loves photography, art, horses, cowboy culture, or the vast and awesome geography of the American heartland. In her work, Anouk Krantz captures and savors an old way of life and reminds us that the values of hard-work, cooperation and community are still living and breathing in America today.

essentie weergeven
Schitterend hoe in louter zwart-wit en door de gekozen vlakverdeling bij de afdruk de impressie van de wijdse prairies door haar getroffen wordt! Veel pakkende iconische nieuws foto's blijven ook zo onvergetelijk, Leica werd zo door zijn handzame camera's van topkwaliteit een begrip.
