Warhol similarly appropriated mass media imagery and consumer culture iconography onto canvas using silkscreen and commercial printing techniques, blurring the line between fine art and popular culture just as Prince does with his nurse imagery and inkjet printing.

Kruger works with appropriated photographic imagery and text to interrogate gender roles, desire, and power structures, sharing Prince's interest in using found visual language from mass media to comment on sexuality and social behavior.

Sherman similarly engages with constructed female archetypes drawn from popular culture and pulp fiction tropes, exploring how femininity and sexuality are performed and mediated through mass produced imagery in ways that parallel Prince's nurse series.
