Beasley's Vaqueros: The Memoirs, Art, and Poems of Ricardo M. Beasley

Presents the life and work of South Texas artist Ricardo Beasley. Between roughly 1940 and 1980, Beasley produced dozens of pen-and-ink drawings of working vaqueros, the Tejano cowboys of South Texas. His vibrant, action-packed scenes capture the dangers as well as the joys of working with cattle, horses, and an often unforgiving landscape.
