Perhaps no other figure in the American popular imagination conjures the respect, mystery, and adoration than that of the cowboy. And its long been a favorite subject of artists from the early twentieth century to today. In this unique exhibition and accompanying catalogue, the cowboy is explored in depth from diverse perspectives and lived experience, ushering in a new vision for this long-standing pop icon.
