The rolling prairies and ranch communities of the great heartland of America's West may be a long way from New York City, but renowned photographer Anouk Masson Krantz has clocked up many thousands of miles over several years exploring and capturing in rich photographic detail the compelling worlds of the American cowboy/cowgirl, championship rodeo arenas, ranch life and farming communities of this slice of the United States.

Set out in a beautiful large-format book, the pages within are filled with Krantz's magnificent duotone images of the spirit of an extraordinary group of people and their lives, and in their own words, their great love of family, tradition and work ethic, and their great pride and affinity with their animals and the rich American rodeo championship sporting culture.

Earning wide acclaim for her incredible fine art work exhibited in galleries and published in the bestselling Wild Horses of Cumberland Island ISBN 9781864707427 (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.

"'A unique collection from an award-winning photographer and storyteller, the book is an artful, intimate study of American character and sense of place.'-- The Independent 'In this oversize ode to the American West, French photographer Anouk Masson Krantz captures the expansiveness of the frontier as well as the rodeo cowboys, ranchers, country-music singers, and cattle that call it home — all in expressive black-and-white.' -- New York Magazine. ’The iconic symbol of America’s pioneering spirit captured in a series of lavish fine art pictures: Jaw-dropping images of the Wild West’s cowboys and epic landscapes.’ -- Sarah Holt, Daily Mail ""Her quest was not to glorify well-known ranches or big-name cowboys but to show the hard work of the West and the people who do it… whose experiences and encounters are chronicled in this handsome volume of 137 striking black-and-white images"" -- Cowboys and Indians: The Premier Magazine of the West ""‘West: The American Cowboy' explores, in black and white, the enduring iconic symbol of our country’s pioneering spirit. She also focused her lens on the wide-open spaces in a largely overlooked part of the world."" -- Alice Garbarini Hurley, Aspire Design and Home Interview with photographer and author Anouk Masson Krantz; article and podcast - The Candid Frame podcast"
