i LOVE......

my favorites :)

what i love about her art is that they talk about real life issues or atleast make you think about them. Everything is very bold and eye catching, so if you were to be walking down the street there is no way you would be able to miss her message, which is obviously what she wants.

her earliest artwork dates back to 1969

After making art for a few years she went to teach at Berkely to teach for four years , and then after she took up photography

During the early 1980s Barbara Kruger perfected a signature agitprop style, using cropped, large-scale, black-and-white photographic images juxtaposed with raucous, pithy, and often ironic aphorisms, printed in Futura Bold typeface against black, white, or deep red text bars

Walls, floors, and ceilings are covered with images and texts, which engulf and even assault the viewer.

this picture is probably my favorite, just because i know a few people who were in abusive relationships.

since the late 1990s, Kruger has incorporated sculpture into her ongoing critique of modern American culture.

OMG!!!!!

WOW!! what a drive!! so about half an hour ago i got back from LACMA. I left my house at 2:30. i was gone for around 6 hours and i def did not think it would take that long. Besides the insane LA traffic i def had fun!!! i was also super lucky to find parking right outside the gates in the back :) but anyways when i got there i immediately noticed the architecture. The building and the design was so fun! it felt like a day for exploring, which is pretty much what we did since there were three different buildings to go to.

This picture was awesome. Not only was it huge but there was so much that caught my attention. The bright yellow on the right with the flower is what my eye went to first, but looking at everything together was so much more appealing.

alright here were in a brown cave type thing. we werent really sure what it was but we walked allllllll around it and inside of it. it was fun for about two minutes :)

krysta trying to be like the wood guy

 This was on the street  and we loved what it said so we took a picture ^^^

first little bit about my artist

This girl was SMART. Barbara Kruger attended Syracuse university for a year and then moved to New York to attend Parsons School of design. There she studied with fellow artists Diane arbus and Marvin israel, they introduced her to other photographers and fashion/magazine subcultures. This is where her interest in graphic design really started to develop. Later she worked and did almost everything. She was an art director, picture editor, and graphic designer ; she did magazine layouts freelance pictures, book jacket designs and so much more. ill post pictures later today :) no outlet and my computer is dying. look her up shes awesome

blogging is difficult :)

 so we finally got internet at my condo!! yay now i can blog allllllllllll the time :) now i just need to figure this out because it took a while to figure out wordpress. so its time to explore and figure out how to post stuff from my artist.

P.S. were going to the museum tomorrow :) im excitedddd!!!
