About the Book

"If you are a true gaucho, you cannot change, because wherever you go, you'll go with your soul leading the way." - Ricardo Guiraldes, Don Segundo Sombra In the spirit of Polo: The Nomadic Tribe, Assouline presents a spectacular volume dedicated to gauchos, the magnificent cowboys of the Argentine Pampas. Over several years, renowned Argentine photographer Aldo Sessa travelled Argentina to its farthest reaches, sparing no effort or sacrifice, to follow and record the traces of modern-day gauchos, expert nomadic horsemen who preserve the Argentine tradition. Gauchos: Iconic Nomads captivates with sweeping vistas, fascinating details of traditional clothing and equipment, and compelling portraits of men young and old and their staunch equine workmates.
