Bank Langmore
Untitled (Roper at Bell Ranch) by Bank Langmore, 1973-75, Silver Gelatin Print

ca. 1973-75

About the Item

Untitled (Roper at Bell Ranch) by Bank Langmore is a 8 x 12 inch toned silver gelatin print. This piece is framed, the frame size is 21 1/2 x 28 in. This photograph is signed in pencil on mount margin. Untitled (Roper at Bell Ranch) depicts a cowboy riding on a horse. The cowboy is turned away from the viewer, looking back over his shoulder at the rope leading to a small calf in the distance. The dust-filled air clouds the background, showing the fast paced environment of a cowboy trying to wrangle an animal. Bank Langmore, born in 1935, left a corporate job in Dallas in the 1970s to become a photographer. His first major assignment was to photograph the American cowboy. He traveled throughout the West, spending time on working ranches still practicing traditional ranching methods. The 35mm cameras he used gave him the freedom to move, get close to the action, and respond quickly to light and mood. He had an eye for people, not the glamorous kind, but the working kind. His photographs convey the cowboys’ toughness from years of laboring under the sun, but there’s humor and love as well. Bank’s vintage prints from the 1970s are classics of western photography. His images were published in the acclaimed book, “The Cowboy.”

  • Vick Beackstone on 'One Minute to Midnite' by John Stryker, Silver Gelatin Print
    By John Stryker
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Vick Beakstone on 'One Minute to Midnite' by John Stryker is a 10 x 8 inch silver gelatin print. This photograph is signed on print recto in ink and titled in pencil on print verso. Vick Beakstone on 'One Minute to Midnite' by John Stryker features a cowboy riding a bucking horse. Both figures are suspended in the air, creating a calm illusion amidst a chaotic scene. John Stryker was born in Rockford, Illinois, September 1, 1883. He is most remembered for his body of photographs he took of the "Olympic of Western sport"*- the Rodeo. During his lifetime he crossed America, working rodeos as an announcer, a producer, promoter and sometimes a rider. He invented the chute that the animals come out of and he developed new ways of photographing action during an event. Dramatic shots were taken from the ground, propping his camera on the toe of his right boot right next to a bucking bronco. Some historians believe that John Stryker was directly responsible for the growth and sophistication of the sport. His negatives are in the collection of the University of Texas at Permian Basin, Odessa. His photographs have been exhibited during his lifetime at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, and the Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth, Texas. His photographs have been published widely including Life, Look, The Cattleman, The Western Horseman, and The Quarter Horse Journal. In 1977, The Rodeo of John Addison Stryker...
