This image taken by Prince stirred up much controversy. This is Brooke Shields, ten years old, plastered in make, standing nude in a bathtub. Im choosing not to show the whole photo because I myself do not agree with the photograph. The Tate Modern was ordered by police to take down Richard Prince's "Pop Life" exhibition which showed this photo named "Spiritual America". I think this photo is highly inappropriate. Its uses what photography can do with a subject and creates an evil. I think if he shot the photo differently, it would not of stirred up so much trouble. Prince makes this ten year old girl look like a thirty year old woman who works in the Red Light District. This photo is disturbing, and not in an artistic or educational way. I think the police department was correct in taking down the photo.
