Many artist would be postmodern artist without even knowing it. Barbara Kruger was one of those people who often used juxtaposition through most of her art. This is the process where she place words side by side vertically or horizontally. She also has a picture of a woman in the background with a blindfold on. She would be considered postmodern because she is recycling what has already been done. People already have put words and pictures on a poster in something we called text and image. The difference is she make it her own story. This would be considered appropriation because she took what was already done into her own matter.This is the same as a rapper using someone else's beat from their song to rap off of. This art work would also be considered as representin'. She has  used this concept through all of her art works with her words and pictures to make a point. Her point in this art work is if you are confident one minute and you let someone or something else make you doubt yourself then you will be going back and forth. But this isn't a bad thing because you have to be open to both in order to be a sane human being. It's a crazy slogan but if you think about it more then you'll get it later. Even though Kruger uses what has already been done she makes it different from what you would expect, she is considered postmodern since what she has done was technically done earlier.
