Senza titolo (cowboy)

1989
Not on view
Senza titolo (cowboy) è un momento culminante dell’incessante decostruzione operata dall’artista di un archetipo americano antico come i primi pionieri, e dal significato particolarmente attuale in quell’epoca, in cui stava finendo il mandato dell’allora presidente, Ronald Reagan. La fotografia di Prince è la copia (la fotografia) di una copia (la pubblicità) di un mito (il cowboy) e un penetrante commento sulla continua attrazione della nostra cultura per le immagini invece che per le esperienze di vita vissute, ciò che l’artista ha descritto come “la cosa più vicina alla cosa reale”.
