Description
Since the frontiers of the American West were explored and settled, the horse has become its icon, representing freedom, individualism, toughness, determination, and the idiosyncratic way of life inherent to the region.

The horse was a vital partner of the cowboy, Native American, and settler of this new frontier. As time went on, the image of the horse came to represent a new romanticism of the West, with many artists devoted to depicting the singular partnership between horse and cowboy.

Building on their expertise in Western art and horses in particular, Heidi Brady and Scott White have collected pieces from artists who have spent their lives capturing and creating images of these majestic animals. The chapters, or profiles, were compiled from interviews with artists and are rendered in their own voices.

A study of award-winning contemporary artists, Artists of the Horse: Capturing the Spirit of America's West profiles painters, photographers, and sculptors, each artist describing the circumstances that influenced how they approach the portrayal of the horse. Through different styles and perspectives, this book works to preserve the heritage of the Western way of life and the centrality of the horse in telling its story.
About Heidi Brady | Scott White
Dr. Scott White grew up in the West Texas town of Odessa amid pumpjacks, sagebrush, horses, and cowboys. He attended Odessa High School then started on an accounting degree at Odessa College until deciding the world was too big to look at through a set of books. His parents introduced him to art when they owned a frame shop and art supply business. He was surrounded by the art of the West there. He pursued interests in music, art, and history while working as a construction contractor. After acquiring an AA, a BA, an MA, and a PhD, he combined all his interests in pursuing museum work. Now retired, he lives in Lubbock, Texas.
