TOUGH BY NATURE
Lynda Lanker
Foreward by Larry McMurtry. Introduction by Sandra Day O'Connor.
Afterword
by Maya Angelou.
For close to twenty years, Lynda Lanker has been immersed in a vast and
unprecedented artistic undertaking. While, historically, scores of
artists
have roamed the West, painting and drawing its monumental landscapes,
Lanker has traversed that same territory, but her eyes and artistry
have
been firmly fixed elsewhere―on a seldom-heralded group of individuals
who
have, in no small way, played a vital role in forging the fabric and
soul
of the American West.
Her search for ranch women and cowgirls across the western United
States
has taken her thousands of miles to ranches and homes in thirteen
states.
What she discovered underscores the timeliness and importance of her
creative accomplishment, for these women and their way of life are
quickly
disappearing. The matriarchs of the West―those women who played the
essential roles of hard-working ranchers, mothers, cowgirls, wives, and
homemakers―are simply vanishing. Mega-corporations and urban
encroachment
are replacing their family farms and ranches and, in the process, are
changing the face and humanity of the West forever.
Just as the Farm Security Administration’s photographic chronicles of
the
Great Depression have fixed that time and its hardships in our
collective
memory, Lanker’s portraits will forever honor the unsung heroines of
the
West.
