Catalogue Note
"The American cowboy of the mind is a romantic, monumental pulp-fiction figure... He is Alexander the Great in chaps in boots. He is colorful, masculine to the point of caricature, a license-plate emblem, a billboard, a restaurant chain, a figure of speech indicating rough fun or brash aggressiveness. Abroad he is the representation of America, so deeply is he embedded in our national character and ethos." - Annie Proulx (Exh. Cat., Richard Prince: Spritual America, New York, 2007, p. 284)
