Provocative photographer and artist Barbara Kruger sought to put forth her thoughts on issues of the world through mediums such as photographs. ... Kruger was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1945 as an only child. ...
Kruger’s work has appeared on billboards, posters and train station platforms. ...
Behind the camera, and in front of the camera, Cindy Sherman is not seeking to display self-portraits, but different identities through the use of costumes, props and expressions. ...
Technical description
One of the many renowned works of Barbara Kruger is “Untitled (Its a small world but not if you have to clean it)” which was done in 1990. ...
In Sherman’s series of “untitled film stills”, one of the works includes “untitled #97 1982” which was taken in 1982 and is a screen print. ... The issues and connotations can be seen through the apparel of the subject and her facial expressions, whilst in Kruger’s work, it can only be seen when the words are present.
Sherman’s portrait is also a close up one – of herself. ... Kruger is obviously not present in the picture and she is more of a photograph manipulator rather than photographer. ...
Balance is crucial in a photograph, and Sherman has done it well balancing the photo with colour and positioning. ... Similarly, Kruger has also balanced using enlargement and colour. ...
It is obvious that Kruger’s image of the woman is in black and white, with exception of the words. On the other hand, Cindy’s work is in colour.
