Barbara Kruger’s works are composed of recovered images to which the artist adds short texts that alter their meaning. With these works, which resemble real "manifestos", Barbara Kruger intends to provoke a reflection on some social issues and on the most widespread clichés of modern society, always finding a synthesis halfway between the initial smug smile and the final inexorable awareness. Thanks to the collection of information on the American artist, it is possible for students to experiment with a relationship between words and images that is functional to the expression of a personal elaboration, creating contrasting and incisive combinations to reflect on stereotypes related to the female world.
