Marlene Dumas is one of the most prominent and influential painters
working today. In an era dominated by the mass media and a
proliferation of images, her work is a testament to the meaning and
potency of painting. Dumas draws on her expansive visual archive
and the nuances of language to create intense, psychologically
charged works which explore themes such as sexuality, love, death
and guilt, often referencing art history and current affairs. Her
paintings and drawings are characterized by their extraordinary
expressiveness and sometimes controversial subject matter. This
fully illustrated exhibition catalogue accompanies a major
exhibition at the Tate Modern, the Stedelijk Museum and the
Fondation Beyeler. Surveying the artist's oeuvre from the mid-70s
to the present, it features over 100 of her most important
paintings and drawings alongside lesser-known works from the early
period of her career. "The Image as Burden" also includes a new
interview with the artist; extracts from previously published but
lesser-known texts (some available in English for the first time);
and a new short story from prize-winning author Colm Toibin written
in response to the paintings. Essays and texts from a wide range of
contributors examine the key themes and motifs in her work and
reflect on Dumas' entire career.
