Delmas Howe (illustrator). Delmas Howe is a contemporary gay American painter and muralist known for his homoerotic depictions of the American West. His work often portrays cowboys and rodeo scenes with a neoclassical, almost mythological sensibility, blending Renaissance and Baroque influences with Southwestern themes. Sky, mountain and prairie with cowboys in plaid shirts, blue jeans, fringed chaps, haunted eyes and lean-muscled, well-hung nudity, in a world of classical allusion. The homoerotic figurative cowboy paintings of American artist Delmas Howe. As Howe was learning to paint in the 1950s in New York, he developed a love for the style of the École des Beaux Arts. His friend and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith encouraged Howe to paint what he knew. What Howe knew was the cowboy culture of Southern New Mexico as he was raised in Hot Springs, now Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The paintings of the École have a strong emphasis on the classic myth stories of the Greeks and Romans. The cowboy is a mythic America figure and the American Southwest, of which New Mexico is a defining part, is the myth machine for this nation. Howe brilliantly combined these two myth strains into the major paintings of his Rodeo Pantheon series. The Rodeo Pantheon series established Howe's career as an important artist. Many of Howe's lithographs very much reflect his mastery of combining the classic myth stories with the mythic aspects of the cowboy and the American West. And the mythic elements that Howe explores are a part of what has shaped the American psyche. Although Howe's lithographs are a lesser-known part of an oeuvre that is almost exclusively painted canvas, his lithographs include some of his most iconic images. This is his comprehensive monograph, before unpublished. Seller Inventory # ABE-1756847434377
