Marlene Dumas.MUSEUM VAN HEDENDAAGSE KUNST Marlene Dumas Marlene Dumas (born August 3, 1953 in Cape Town, South Africa) is an artist combining elements of Expressionism with conceptual art into ink and watercolour pieces and oil paints on canvas. is of the same generation as Francesco Clemente, and like him she was a deft enough painter to open a space for herself in the '70s, when figurative work was barely stirring in its sleep. Like Clemente's, her art is erotic and formally delicate, but her repetitions and variations bow further toward Conceptualism conceptualism, in philosophy, position taken on the problem of universals, initially by Peter Abelard in the 12th cent. Like nominalism it denied that universals exist independently of the mind, but it held that universals have an existence in the mind as concept. , and her palette has a northern sobriety - as if somewhere in her pigments there were a layer of ash. A big show like this one (some 50 paintings and 100 drawings from the '70s through the '90s) is right for her work, which often uses plurality to ask its questions.
