Delmas Howe (born October 22, 1935) is a contemporary 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. Based in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Howe challenges traditional Western iconography by centering queer narratives in a genre historically dominated by rugged masculinity.
