- Marlene Dumas Measuring Your Own Grave by Marlene Dumas 1st Ed Exh. CatalogLocated in valatie, NYMarlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave by Marlene Dumas, Connie Butler and Lisa Mark. Published by D.A.P./Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2008. 1st Ed Hardcover Exhibition Catalog. 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...Category
