마를렌 뒤마스 (1953 –)
마를렌 뒤마(1953년생)는 인종, 성, 정체성 및 취약성을 탐구하는 감정이 풍부한 초상화로 찬사받는 남아프리카 공화국 화가입니다. 현대 낭만주의를 이끄는 주요 예술가입니다.
Although based on a snapshot of Dumas’s daughter finger painting on a hot summer day, the child in The Painter is far removed from the little girl in the photograph. Dumas intentionally uses an aesthetic of the indistinct; the thinly painted background and the unevenly colored figure—sketchy in part and incomplete at the feet—reveal the artist’s fascination with the expressive qualities of non finito. The abstract, painterly characteristics of the work, as well as its generalizing title, also serve to displace the subject from any real-life context into an allegorical realm. As such, The Painter speaks to the almost primal urge to leave creative marks on the world.
