Barbara Kruger Art Interpretation

 

a.       What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?
b.      What kind of message is the artist giving in this piece of art?
c.       Do you like or dislike Kruger’s work? Why?

a) In this picture, there is a man covering his ears to avoid hearing negative words against him, I believe. There is also the words "Believe in Me" because he does not want to hear words that critize who he is or his dreams.
b) I believe that the message the artist is trying to give is that when people don’t give you a chance to prove that you are worthy enough to be believed in or trusted, it is difficult to prove that you can succeed and that you are worth it.  It is not fair when people don’t give you a chance.
c) I think that Kruger’s pieces are very thought provoking. You’re not quite sure what they are about, so you have to interpret it and give your own meaning. I like her pieces because they are relatable. This is because all of Kruger's pieces are very true and provoke self reflection.
