| This text
features the artist Marlene Dumas commenting through her
work on the state of painting today. She asks the
question - what does it mean to be a woman working within
the predominantly male genre of expressionist art? The
artist often chooses women, children and infants as her
subject matter, examining the relation between art and
female beauty. The authors then analyze Dumas's work,
with subjects such as: the development of Dumas's work in
relation to the legacies of European painting; questions
contemporary women artists are asked; and a look at the
artist's painting "Josephine", reflecting on
the iconic legacy of Josephine Baker. The book also
features selections from Dumas's writings, including
texts on her own work, meditations on love, religion and
politics, and a discussion of Goya's painting "The
Fates". The book is part of a series of studies of
important artists of the late-20th century. Each title
offers a comprehensive survey of the artist's work,
providing analyses and multiple perspectives on
contemporary art and its inspiration. (From the Publisher) |
