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.' The book opens with a short series of closely cropped black and white images capturing the movement of a charging bull, horse and rider. The publication comes at a time when aspects of everyday life increase man's divorce from this way of life. With the number of working farms and ranches in the US in a slow but steady decline, the book is a resonant homage to the fast disappearing myth of the American West. Images reminiscent of Krantz's commercial photographs shot for Marlboro, famously appropriated by Richard Prince.
