Barbara Kruger was born on Januray 26, 1945 in Newark, New Jersey. One reason why I chose this artist was, becasue this artist expresses many of her artwork by using juxaposition of text and image. This artists finds existing images of other sources and adds her on text to proclaim a meaning that usually involves identity, sexuality, and power. She is a conceptual artist, which means her artwork is an expression of ideas. She is an artist of true thinking rather than pure beauty, thus in my opinion being a true postmodern artist. She will always continue to live by her word. "I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren't".
