① Artwork:
New Figures
Richard Prince once again borrows imagery from mass media here, in this case, 1950’s era nudie pictures from pulp magazines. In making the collages, Prince cuts away the titillating bits, revealing a re-drawing of them in his own hand beneath. Part homage to Picasso and DeKooning, Prince de-fetishizes the female form and disrupts the male gaze.
Prince's work both appropriates and extensively references images from advertising, mass media and entertainment. The artist's process challenges accepted notions of authorship and ownership while also investigating the impact of various media and genre forms on the construction of American identity. Prince's works explore the seedy worlds of pulp fiction and soft-core porn—as well as subcultures like those of cowboys, bikers, customized cars and celebrities.
