Barbara Kruger

 

Barbara Kruger is an artist whose work incorporates both text and imagery. Her work is recognized for the white-on-red text that she collages over black and white photographs. Her work can focus around topics such as feminism, consumerism and politics and she often uses images, which she has, source from the media.  Kruger’s election issue cover for New York magazine is a well-known piece of her artwork.  The close up, humorous image of Donald Trump stood out to me the most and the word ‘loser’ plastered across his face.  What the piece tells you about Kruger is she is a precarious, witty artist with strong political views that she is no afraid to publicize.
