Barbara Kruger
In this photo we can see a little boy flexing his muscles and a girl pointing to his arm. This photo has a old fashioned black and white effect which gives it a WW2 effect. The caption says "we don't need another hero", this shows that this little boy is inspiring to be like the powerful men in the world. I think the caption is showing sarcasm because there are hardy any powerful women that have status in the world at that time and the powerful men in the world aren't really heroes at all. Barbara Kruger has a feministic theme throughout her photographs and this one adds to this theme because she is showing us that little boys are inspiring to be like the arrogant and selfish male leaders throughout the world. I like this image because I think it has a deep meaning and it opens peoples eyes to things happening in the world.
In this photo we can see a boy holding up his hands with boxing gloves, he looks very intimidating. The black and white effect is similar to Barbara Kruger's image but I made it slightly bolder to represent modern times. The caption on this image says "equality, if they can we can", this also, like Barbara Kruger's image, represents feminism. The meaning I tried to get across was that if men and boys can be strong and powerful then so can women because there is no difference between women and men. Similar to Barbara Kruger's images this photo also has a deep meaning to it and can spread feminist views.
My image is similar to Barbara Kruger's because they both spread feminist views and both show how boys are inspiring to be powerful and strong but we don't see girls inspiring to be like this. The composition of this image is also similar because the images are both black and white with a red caption.
