Name:
Barbara Kruger Date of Birth: January 26, 1945 Known for: Contemporary art Style of photos: Contemporary What I like: Barbara's work is also unique and all have the same style throughout them. I like how she puts captions over her images as you gain more knowledge behind the image and take the caption in. Some of her work is really deep as the image seems normal however, the caption shows the reality behind the image. I like the thought of it as it can prove the '1000 words in a picture' can be totally wrong if you don't see it right. |
