Richard Prince is an american painter and photographer that uses the style of appropriated images to create his art. Prince's most famous and recognizable work was the image above of the marlboro man riding into the horizon. This is one of my favorite images as it represents America and the ideal of freedom. The rephotographed image of the cowboy above was sold for over 1 million dollars at Sothebys auction house. Prince created a whole series called the cowboy series that represents American masculinity.
Other series of collages and photographs that he has done includes gangs, biker chicks and cars. Although his work is very controversial I believe that he has a true talent and am a huge fan of his work
