Post-Modernism

Barbara Kruger. “Untitled (It’s a small world but not if you have to clean it”, 1990. Photographic silkscreen on vinyl 143 x 103 in. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

Kruger’s work juxtaposes images and texts that address ‘cultural constructions of power, identity, and sexuality’. Since 1980, Kruger developed a highly recognizable style in her works, i.e. black, white, and red photo-text montages. This artwork features an image of a woman peering at the audience through a magnifying glass, which draws questions about who cleans up after whom that extend from more personal domestic and professional realms to the broader context of social political, and economic issues.
