MARLENE DUMAS REVISED EDITION

In his work, Dumas evokes the pictorial gestures of expressionism, combining the critical distance of conceptual art with the pleasure of eroticism. Through his delicate representations of the female figure in oil on canvas or ink and watercolour, as well as portraits of children and erotic scenes, he reflects on the current pictorial landscape. What does it mean to be a woman working within the predominantly male genre of expressionist painting?
