Robert Heinecken (1931 - 2006) was an American artist whose work primarily dealt with appropriating contemporary media imagery and often juxtaposing it with photography. Though often put into the realm of photography, he never even used a camera until the late 70s and even then it was to take Polaroid images of magazines. His work was very controversial, especially within the feminist movement. He was also an honored professor and his work has been exhibited worldwide.
