Barbara Kruger

A work of art by Barbara Kruger
The way I feel about this work of art is that it gives the viewer a very blunt message.
To me the message is harsh. For example, when it says, "go hang around someone else" or, "a jerk you are"
The person is obviously expressing their feelings towards someone who is a fake and is being completely honest about how they think about them.
I like this work of art because she is standing up for herself and making it clear who's taking charge.
Overall, I believe this is a bluntly honest message telling all the fakes to get real and stop being so in love with themselves thinking their always right.

Thanks for your opinion. I also think that she is commenting on how mean people can be to others that they deem to be different than themself. Does anyone really deserve to be spoken to in such a demeaning way?
