A blue-black topless woman stakes her claim on the Upper East Side. A stripper displays her behind next to six brides posing in a row. A dead man with a bound jaw asks the viewer to confront three blindfolded prisoners and three mysteriously somber children. The paintings and drawings collected here demonstrate Marlene Dumas's enduring fascination with image-making as a force for objectification, and simultaneously express her desire to pry the act of figurative painting loose from that history. Her lushly painted work recalls the immediacy of Expressionism in its gestures, the critical distance of Conceptual art in its idea-driven intensity, and the pleasures of eroticism in both its subjects and its lavishly applied paint. The complexity of Dumas's conceptual preoccupations is belied by her formal mastery--both command the viewer's attention, and the chemistry between them makes her one of our most important living figurative painters. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Marlene Dumas, born in South Africa and based in Amsterdam, is one of Holland's most internationally admired artists. A highly skilled 'painter's painter', she comments through her work on the state of painting today and asks the question: What does it mean to be a woman working within the predominantly male genre of expressionist art? Dumas often chooses women, children and infants as her subject matter, and the relation between art and female beauty is a constant theme in her work. Dumas has exhibited since the late 1970s and has presented solo exhibitions at major international museums, including the Museum fur Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt (1998) and the Tate Gallery, London (1996). In 1995 she represented the Netherlands at the 46th Venice Biennale. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
