R C Horsch circa 2014

R. C. Hörsch (also R. C. Horsch or Raymond Charles Hoersch; born 1943) is an American artist. His 50-year body of work ranges from poetic to explicit.[1] He is cited academically, along with Hans Bellmer and Robert Mapplethorpe, as an example of an artist of transgressive work.[2] Criticism of his work both praises his authenticity, sensitivity[3] and condemns the exploitation of his subjects.[4][5]
