Week 2 - Barbara Kruger And Mercantilism

Describe the 'style' that Kruger has used in the two presented works

Her work is of a conceptual/pop art style that displays advertisement-like compositions. The compositions challenge the viewer with witty statements in the form of a text over an image.  The style is distinctive and creates simplicity by the way she uses the same form of media and approach to convey a message through a simple statement by using the same font, background material and limitted palette. Her work contains a 'signature' style that seems to stay consistant from her combinations of imagery and text.
