Barbara Kruger Refection

What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?
In this piece of art I see, leading on, desire, wanting, hurt and love. In this art I see that the women is the one leading on the man. Her look and expression on her face shows that she has something up her sleeve.

What kind of message did you try to give in this piece of art?
The kind of message that I tried to give in this piece of art is the idea of leading someone on. The women in this picture looks to have a hard expression on her face. She looks to be holding something back or holding a secret. The man looks like he really loves this women, but I wanted to give the idea that this women is leading him on for her own pleasure. This tends to happen in society, where people enjoy seeing other people hurt.

Do you like or dislike this piece of art? Why?
I like parts of this piece of art. For some reason it just doesn’t look like it flows together like the other Barbara Kruger pieces do. I put red as the background so it would work with the letters, but then it had too much red, so I tried with black to blend in with the actually picture. But then it had to much black. So I tried to balance the red, but still make it pop while having the black and white in it as well. Overall I like it. When I did a lot to the piece it took away from my message so I made it more simpler and focus on the message.
