John Baldassari- use of text and imagery

Expressive artist Jon Baldassari is famous for his expressive use of colour, outlandish ideas and use of text to create stories for the audience. What im most interested in is his use of text how it impacts the audience. He uses combinations of words and text to impact his photographs. There are two main examples of his use of text. One uses basic images, portraits of people with the addition of text to add to the personality, or suggest something about the person to the audience.

While the other style is more fun in a sence that he uses text to create storys around the images, often rather mundaine or images of inanimate object or objects that we take for granted, most famous prob:

i really like Baldassaris use of text, both the little story he creates, and that where just a single word influences the whole take on an image.
