Barbara Kruger's Inspiration

Barbara Kruger had a couple of different inspirations for her work. She went to school for graphic design so she liked to put that into her artwork.She was inspired though by another woman artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz. She liked how the artist how intelligence was challenged in the work. It helped shape how she wanted her work to be seen as. This inspired her to start teaching, writing criticism about television and cinema, and to curate exhibitions which then centered on the focus of her work, advertisement and media.
