I think these are my favorite Barbara Kruger works. I love words. I love art. I love pop culture. I love mixed messages. I love how she swirls all of it together resulting in large-scale works (the Marilyn works pictured below each measure about 85" x 49" / 216 x 125 cm) that pack a visual punch.
If you are not familiar with Barbara Kruger and want to read more about her, you can start by reading this.

How cool!!! I love the last one!
Hmmmmmmmm I like it. I think it would impact me more if I could see them in real-life and how big they are. Right now, my mind is just kinda like.... hmmmmmm... I love the last one the most, actually.
Much Love,

Thanks for the introduction to Barbara!
They're like taking Andy Warhol's idea one step further. They make me feel slightly uncomfortable, but that's not a bad thing. When an art form does that, the senses are more aware.
Must agree with the majority, love the last one.
If I ever own a home, or even get an apartment, I would love to hang these on my walls.
