Barbara Barbs


Barbara Kruger, 2010

ce, 1999

Barbara Kruger's work always seems, at first, to be offering a critique of the political-economic-cultural status quo, but upon closer examination, it's obvious that it just ends up reinforcing it.

Kruger accommodatingly eschews her characteristic black and white photo image for glossy full color porno-realism, and the text is ultimately no different than the copy the magazine would normally use to hide a hot chick's goodies.

Her neoliberal philosophy of art is summed up in the quote used in the drawing above.

The Devil & the Beast


The Devil

The Beast

I found this on the website of those Hutaree christian militia people who were recently caught plotting to kill police. I think it's a cool painting (let it sink in, The Beast of Revelations has a Triceratops head) and a nice example of Christian Realism, which can also be found in Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlets, "Rapture" imagery, Tribulation art, etc.
