About the Item

Black and White Portrait of a Cowboy at Calgary Rodeo holding his Rope between his teeth while riding, photographed by Albert Watson in 1979. All prints are limited edition. Available in two sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. In Calgary, Albert Watson captures the essence of the Western spirit with a powerful side portrait of a cowboy. Mounted on his horse, the cowboy’s rugged demeanor is accentuated as he holds a rope between his teeth, embodying a quintessential image of the frontier lifestyle. Watson’s expert use of lighting and composition highlights the textures of the cowboy’s attire and the strength of his presence, while the horse’s steady gaze adds depth to the scene. The photograph evokes a sense of timeless authenticity, celebrating the enduring legacy of cowboy culture with striking clarity and detail. Throughout the last four decades, Albert Watson has made a name for himself as one of the world's most successful fashion and advertising photographers, creating more than 100 Vogue covers over the years. From the iconic Hitchcock series to extravagant shoots for Iris van Herpen, the British star photographer is one of the founding fathers of fine art photography. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, or David Bowie – Watson has captured the Who's Who. No matter the genre, landscape, portraiture, nudes, or fashion, Watson is always curious and ready to venture into new subject worlds and has remained just as an important creative force to this day.
