Produktbeschreibung
Winner of the 2024 Wrangler Award for Best Photography Book, presented by the Western Heritage Awards Born in 1886 to pioneer parents on the eastern front of the Bighorn Mountains, Jessamine Spear Johnson would grow up to document many of the dramatic changes that this region would see over the next century. After first picking up a camera at the age of eleven, Johnson developed into a uniquely gifted artist, all while helping manage the family ranch. Through her photography, Johnson captured the rapid advancements occurring around her, especially from the 1910s through the 1940s. As Bighorn Visions shows, Johnson's camera captured not only the day-to-day nuances of ranch life but also changing gender norms, transformations on the reservation, and the abundant natural wonders of northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana. Featuring over one hundred of Jessamine Spear Johnson's photographs, this volume is the first publication to showcase her work in detail.
Autorenporträt
Tempe Javitz, Jessamine Spear Johnson's granddaughter, has compiled over one hundred of Jessamine's photographs for Bighorn Visions, the first publication to showcase her work in such detail. Javitz also contributes vital essays and informative captions that contextualize her grandmother's life and work. In addition, historian Mary Murphy situates Johnson's life and career in relation to broader shifts in ranching, tourism, and photography in the region in a wide-ranging introduction. Collectively, Bighorn Visions is both a must-read for those interested in the twentieth century West and a striking document of a skilled photographer's work.
