Barbara Kruger American, born 1945
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.
