A Cowboy Poster Can Transport Anyone Back To The Old Cowboy West
A Cowboy Poster can come in a variety of formats and designs. Posters can represent copies of famous (or not so famous) fine art prints. They also can replication actual photographic re-prints in larger formats. In addition, these posters can be replicas of famous movies from the past or present. Posters are often shipped rolled and shipped in a tube. Because the paper is somewhat thin and can easily be damaged by the elements or torn, it is recommended that posters be framed securely behind acrylic or glass. Collecting posters, especially once they are framed, offer a wise and low cost option for covering large areas of empty wall space. While fine art prints or canvas transfer reproductions can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, the same subject reproduced in a poster can be purchase for under $100. Western artists such as Jack Sorenson often depict images of the rodeo or working ranch cowboy. Cowboy posters such as “Lifetime in the Saddle” offer a romanticized view of the often hard daily life that cowboys and ranchers lead. Photographic artists such as David Stoecklein offer a realistic, and sometimes a humorous, photographic glimpse of working cowboys in his cowboy posters. Titles that are popular in this genre of cowboy poster are Stoecklein’s “The Lesson”. Other photographic artists include Bob Trehearne and his photo cowboy poster, “Ranchers Herding Horses” posters. The more contemporary version of this design of posters is western movie cowboy posters. The 1960’s – 1990’s offered numerous popular western cowboy movies. Top cowboy movie posters include “Midnight Cowboy” – 1969, Andy Warhol’s, “Cowboys and Indians – John Wayne”, and who can forget “Urban Cowboy”, the movie that re-energized western style clothing and dancing in 1980.
