The cowboy, reconsidered: a richer, more diverse story than most understand
The cowboy, a symbol of American culture and heritage, has long captivated the hearts and minds of people around the world. However, the enduring myth of the cowboy is a richer, more diverse story than most realize. In this survey, some of the most important artists working today take up the cowboy through the lens of queer, Black, Asian, and Latinx perspectives.
Perhaps no other figure in the American popular imagination conjures the respect, mystery, and adoration than that of the cowboy. And it's 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.
Director Nora Burnett Abrams considers the cowboy through historical perspectives, breaking down the myth and mystique. In an extended interview, curator Miranda Lash talks with queer Latinx artist rafa esparza, who considers the vaquero (the Spanish term for cowboy) in his work. And Jongwoo Jeremy Kim explores issues around masculinity in Asian American cowboy communities.
