Frontier

"Anouk Masson Krantz, a French writer and photographer who has chosen the American West as her subject, brings an outsider’s perspective to the subject. The author of photo books West and American Cowboys, Krantz says that she’s been fascinated by the fact that modern life has left many people wanting more—and that the cowboy, somehow, represents an alternative." - GQ
“Although most don’t want to become real working cowboys, we envy their ability to live on their own terms, within these incredible Western landscapes,” Krantz says. “The cowboy is the very living, breathing icon of freedom and independence."' - GQ
:"The fine art photographer Anouk Masson Krantz visited ranches and rodeos in search of North American cowboys, Central American vaqueros, and South American gauchos to capture the realities of their way of life for her new book Frontier: Cowboys of the Americas (Images Publishing). " - The Times
"In her new book published by The Images Publishing Group, Anouk Krantz presents her most expansive work to date. Frontier: Cowboys of the Americas is the culmination of years of work and literally hundreds of journeys to ranches, rodeos, and the landscapes of the American continents. This collection is a magnificent tribute to a way of life and of living, to the cowboys and their communities, and, ultimately, to the heart of the Americas." - l'Oeil de la Photographie
"Photographer Anouk Masson Krantz, whose work we are presenting at rampstyle not for the first time (and certainly not for the last), has been following the lives of cowboys and ranchers with her camera for years, a group of people who, despite the internet and smartphones, still largely go about their work as they did over a century ago.Just how much Krantz loves this authentic world is demonstrated by the fact that she has covered more than two hundred thousand miles between farms, rodeos and horse corrals. Her latest book is dedicated to the remaining frontiers of the American continent, from Canada to Mexico and Argentina." - Rampstyle Magazine
"Wild West enthusiasts—and, yes, Yellowstone fans—will appreciate Frontier: Cowboys of the Americas, a compelling portrait of ranch life by Anouk Masson Krantz. This coffee table book, available for $85, combines gorgeous, black-and-white imagery of cowboys, ranchers, and their families in the land they love with a nice touch of history of the modern American west." - Time
