Richard Prince once again borrows imagery from mass media, in this case 1950’s era nudie pictures from pulp magazines intended to stimulate the sexual urges of male readers. In making the collages, Prince literally cuts away the titillating bits, revealing a re-drawing of the bits in his own hand beneath. Part homage to Picasso and DeKooning, Prince de-fetishizes the female form and disrupts the male gaze.
