Young Rider (2008)

In Young Rider, Collier Schorr continues her exploration of the point at which masculinity collides with adolescence’s tenderness and fragility. This work expresses the image of a youthful cowboy in waiting, capturing a sense of innocence surrounded by grim reality. Her images present two visions of America that exist simultaneously: the privileged desire for fame and fortune met with its underbelly, the imminent drive for survival.
