D.A.P./Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2008 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 ...             Marlene Dumas: Intimate Relations Marlene Dumas Jacana Media, 2008 One of the top-selling female artists in the world, Marlene Dumas is a young painter whose works deal with the cycle of life as well as issues of gender, sexuality, pleasure, and pain.

Suggestive works, they appear to be based mostly on photographs from magazines which Dumas blurs, crops, or distorts. In doing so, the artist explores the sexualized dynamics between the picture, the painter, and the viewer. Her always openly sensual representations of human bodies and faces deal with some of the questions central to life. Wet Dreams features a broad ...             Citizens and Subjects Marlene Dumas, Aernout Mik, ... JRP|Ringier, 2007 In 2007, Aernout Mik represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale. Rather than produce a standard catalogue to accompany Mik's acclaimed three-part video installation, curator Maria Hlavajova organized this dense and galvanizing critical reader. Interspersed with provocative black-and-white images from Mik's artworks, Citizens and Subjects looks at the Netherlands as an example of the contemporary western condition at a time when the ...             Marlene Dumas: Selected Works Marlene Dumas Zwirner & Wirth, 2006 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 ...             (In Search of) the Perfect Lover: Louise Bourgeois, Marlene Dumas, Paul McCarthy, Raymond Pettibon Louise Bourgeois, Marlene Dumas, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2003 Notwithstanding their considerable differences and individuality--one would hardly expect them to have a lover in common--Louise Bourgeois, Marlene Dumas, Paul McCarthy and Raymond Pettibon share an artistic intent to explore eroticism and sexuality. Each artist deals, in his or her own stylistic way, with the intense physical states of ecstasy, passion, conflict and fear. Working through the medium of drawing--the "medium of the mind"--they ...             Marlene Dumas & Marijke van Warmerdam Marlene Dumas, Marijke van Warmerdam Walther Konig, 2006 Description: M+M begins with the patently romantic story of these two artists' first meeting-- one surprised the other by coming to her aid in conversation--and continues through a detailed scrapbook of their recent collaborations, from ideas to installation views. Highlights include handwritten notes, shown in white on glossy black, under such headings as "I never use the F word unless I'm swearing."             Marlene Dumas: One Hundred Models and Endless Rejects Jill Medvedow, Marlene Dumas Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001 South African artist Marlene Dumas has cultivated a unique position within the world of figurative painting since the early 1980s, focusing on how the human body is translated into an image. Dumas dose not use models, but instead takes her images from mass media and popular culture sources, particularly newspapers and television. According to Dumas, ''what interested me was to make a statement about peoples' frames of mind and the relationships ...             Female Marlene Dumas Snoeck, 2006             Friedrich Christian Flick Collection Im Hamburger Bahnof Eugen Blume, Peter Fischli, ... Dumont, 2005 This is, quite possibly, one of the world's best designed art books. Featured within its pages are works from the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection--one of the world's most significant (and yes, controversial) collections of contemporary art. But this book doesn't merely present some 400 works by 40 artists, it also seeks, through its design, to provide an individual stage--or section--for each artist in order to highlight the artist's ...             Evn Sammlung: 95-05 Brigitte Huck, Georg Kargl, ...
