John BALDESSARI.
"wrong"
In 1967 John Baldessari displayed his "wrong" series. He used a range of photographic pictures. His most famous series was titled "wrong" which had a range of pictures with bad composition, juxtaposed by the word "wrong".
In the image, the place the man is standing has a tree behind him and it looks like the tree is coming out of his head. Also the man is standing too faraway from the camera which make it hard for us to see his face. Overall the picture is unclear and badly composed and unclear.
The message that Baldessari was trying to say in the image is why does our work have to be judged? are idea cannot be wrong or right as it is executed as a personal response. John Baldessari once said "You don't want anyone to say 'You can't do that!' But you do get a lot of that in New York. One of the healthiest things about California is - 'Why not?'
