Description	"Prince's early 'appropriations' from advertising, of which this is an example, have interesting connections with his later practice. After 1985 Prince started to employ verbal jokes in his works. They were often silkscreened as texts across the centers of large, single-color canvases alluding to Modernist abstractions. The character of the jokes, which usually reflected 1950s, middle American, 'blue-collar' values, often had an undercurrent of malevolence. Many of them dealt with infidelity. From the evidence of his earlier appropriations, Prince himself was a fugitive, teasingly 'untrustworthy' artist." (Caption, p.212); "Another artist concerned with appropriating imagery was Richard Prince. In 're-presenting' images of cowboys extrapolated from advertisements for Marlboro cigarettes, he effaced his authorial presence while obliquely preserving an ironically macho identification between himself, as artist, and the romantic outsider-figures of the cowboys." (Excerpt, p.212)
