About the Item

First Edition, published by Little, Brown Company, Boston, 1987 The photographs collected in 'Buckaroo: Images From the Sagebrush Basin' show why Kurt Markus's photographs of cowboys, ranches and the American West remain so acclaimed. Classic, beautiful and deeply sympathetic to the way of life of his subjects, Markus turns his Pentax camera, favoured by fashion photographers such as Terrence Donovan, onto the dramatic solitude and beauty of cattle ranchers in the vanishing plains of the American West. The resulting photographs show his attachment to the work of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, with a sense of style, composition and observed beauty that moved his work from the pages of Western Horseman magazine to the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and many more. One of his classic photobooks on the subject he mastered, with finely printed plates and a revealing, often-quoted introduction by Markus himself. Hardback in publisher's original dust jacket, text in English, unpaginated with 127 colour and black and white plates throughout.
