Barbara Kruger - Design for Social Change


Barbara Kruger

Born January 26, 1945, Barbara Kruger is an American designer/conceptual artist. Most of her work is done in black-and-white photography, often with small hints of color like red. They are overlaid with bold captions that also deliver bold messages. Her work aims to address culture and the way power, sexuality ( mostly female sexuality), and our identities are constructed. They cause us to second guess our own thoughts and take a deeper look into society to possibly set forth and create a change.

"I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary." -Barbara Kruger
