Samenvatting

This catalogue for an exhibition of work by Marlene Dumas at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens features over 40 paintings and works on paper. It offers a cross-section of the artist’s challenging representations of the human body. The works were gathered from different phases of the artist’s life, in order to make combinations that would make sense to be shown together with works from the museum’s collection, and are grouped into four categories: the family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body, and portraits of sculptures. In this way her artworks enter into an anachronistic dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines crafted by unknown artists several millennia ago.
