Description

Frontier blends cinematic portraits of cowboys and expansive landscapes with experimental works to create a visual representation of the mythical American West. The book is the first monograph by photographer Jim Krantz who has spent his life and work immersed in the landscape and culture embedded in American national identity. ‘When I worked at the store with my dad, I’d often sneak off to the stockyards. Watching the cowboys herd cattle and horses, their ropes spinning effortlessly, left an indelible impression on me. It was a vivid, living image of strength and independence, one that has stayed with me all my life....’ Krantz’s photographs often feel familiar. His commercial work for major US brands have made his imagery synomous with that associated with the dream of the American West. Widely reproduced anonymously for decades on billboards, in magazines and other media, his photographs are further familarised through their appropriation by arist Richard Prince. The publication of Frontier comes at a time when aspects of everyday life— air conditioning, desk jobs, lack of access to nature and the reliance on the motor car—increase man’s divorce from this way of life. With millions of acres of land in the US lost to development, farms, cities, powerplants and other infrastruction, the ability and freedom to roam the land are fast disappearing and Krantz’s book a resonant swansong to the fast disappearing myth. Jim Krantz was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. Tutored and influenced by the work of Ansel Adams amongst others, Krantz has worked as a commercial photographer for major US brands alongside his fine art practice. His photographs been exhibited at Colette, Paris and Danziger Gallery in both New York and Los Angeles. Krantz was recipient of the Lucie Award for Photographic Achievement in 2010 and has collaborated with fashion and interior brand Supreme, Adam Kimmel and Modernica Furniture. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
