Barbara Kruger Assignment




What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?

What I see in this piece is pain, annoyance and anger. The man is so tense, eyes squinted mouth pursed, hands over his ears and looks like he thinks that his head is going to explode if someone else tells him what to do. And the words are in a spiky conversation bubble making it exclaimed.

What kind of message is the artist giving in this piece of art?

The message I think that this picture is sending is that too many people try to think for others, especially when some want to make their own choices. This message is sending those control freaks a message of back off and let people think for themselves.


Do you like or dislike Kruger's work? Why?
I actually think that he work is quite inspirational, especially this piece. The fact that she is willing to almost bluntly criticize so many types of people is awesome. Usually people hide and how she express' her concerns in the world is amazing. I also like the colours she chose in her pieces because the grey scale with the red is so eye drawing.
