Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues at the Cycladic
Roma Publications/Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens
A catalogue accompanies the exhibition "Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues" at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, featuring over 40 paintings and works on paper, combined with over 30 antiquities from the museum’s collection.
Grouped into categories – family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body and portraits of sculptures – Dumas’s works enter into a timeless dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines created by unknown artists several millennia ago. As the artist states on the first page: "This is a book for all times, from being born, being young, being attractive and seductive, being betrayed and attacked, to being old and trying not to die." The book includes texts by Douglas Fogle, the curator of the exhibition, and Marlene Dumas. Design: Roger Willems.
