Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave by Cornelia Butler and Cornelia H. Butler (Hardcover) 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

In her expressionistic drawings and paintings of the last three

decades, acclaimed South African artist Marlene Dumas has focused

on the human figure, probing themes of love, desire, despair and

confusion in order to slyly critique social and political attitudes

toward women, children, people of color and others who have

historically been victimized. From her evocative portraits, based

on photographs of friends and family as well as figures culled from

printed pornography, to her large-scale images highlighting charged

relationships within groups, Dumas' work explores the

contradictions behind the physical reality of the body, merging

acute social commentary with personal experience and art-historical

antecedent to create unsettling and ambiguous psychological

statements.

Accompanying Dumas' first major mid-career

survey in the U.S., with stops in three major American cities, (one

yet to be announced) this substantial, fully-illustrated

publication features a newly commissioned essay by renowned scholar

Richard Shiff, placing the artist's work in relation to both

American figurative painting since the 1980s and Abstract

Expressionism. The book also includes curator Cornelia H. Butler's

examination of Dumas' photographic sources and shorter texts by

Lisa Gabrielle Mark and Matthew Monahan. Writings by the artist, as

well as an extensive illustrated exhibition history and

bibliography, complete this comprehensive examination of the work

of one of the most thought-provoking artists working today.

Born in Capetown, South Africa, in 1953, Marlene Dumas has lived in

Amsterdam since 1976. Over the last three decades she has had

numerous solo exhibitions throughout Europe and the U.S., including

the Tate Gallery, London; the Institute of Contemporary Art,

Boston; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. In 1995 she

represented The Netherlands at the 46th Venice Biennale.
