Barbara Kruger Assignment
a) This picture has a face split in two, one half dark and one half light. The face is symmetrical except that the highlights and darks are inversed in the sides. The words are written in white, surrounded by a red box. They say "Your body is a battleground".
b) I think the artist is trying to say that there are two sides to a person and the two sides fight against eachother to make the personality of the person. if one side is stronger than the other that determines the way the person will act- if the dark or 'more violent' side of a person is stronger than the light they in turn will be 'darker' or act violently; the opposite for the light side.
c) I like Barbara Kruger's work because each piece seems to tell a story or portray a message but that message isn't blatantly obvious. The viewer has to take time and think about what the piece is suggesting which is what I believe is the most important part of art. I like that the image is in black and white but the words are in red because it makes the words or message seem like the focal point of the piece.
