These three paintings by artist Barbara Kruger say to the viewer that men are in control and women are the total opposite of men. Men are stronger, smarter and make history. Women are reduced to second place and are given less than equal importance. Scientists and people who make history such as presidents, policemen, doctors etc. are mostly comprised of men. Women stay at home and are subject to men. Science, history and even math is excelled by males. Females take care of men and are not considered history makers. I think Kruger is challenging males or masculine men because these art works show that men are the cause of the problems of the world. Women do not get enough reward for the work they do. Masculine women are judged differently than women. They try to become as powerful as a man, but lacks the feminine touch. Women do the housework and men will never know the work women do.
