Barbara Kruger was born in New Jersey in 1945 and her work is typically pictures with words on top of them in a collage form which have gone on to be postcards, billboards, etc. She was inspired by her past as being a graphic designer. I chose her art because I thought the red color she uses on the black/white background really stands out to me. I really enjoy art that has short, quick words built into it and that's exactly what this artist's work has. The meaning behind some of the art I chose is also really upsetting and I love when art has that kind of an impact. For example,Untitled- Another Year, looks like it's about violence- be it violence against women or domestic violence- it's about violence in some form. I don't normally see art that depicts such problems within our society so I think when I do it's really powerful, especially if you've gone through something like that.
