Barbara Kruger American, born 1945
We Will Not Become What We Mean to You
1983
Barbara Kruger's 'We Will No Longer Be Seen and Not Heard' (1985) is one of the American conceptualist's defining photomontages: a black-and-white photograph overlaid with her signature red-bordered Futura-Bold text. Drawn from the vocabulary of protest and advertising, it stakes a sharp feminist claim at a key moment in 1980s Pictures-generation appropriation. Gelatin silver print; Art Institute of Chicago.
