About the book
"Marlene Dumas is celebrated around the world for her highly charged depictions of the human form. In her oil paintings, drawings, and watercolours she captures the body in all its states, from pain to pleasure, eroticism to pathos, birth to death. These works often focus on the body as a contested site with regard to issues such as race, pornography, and illegal immigration, but they also address such timeless themes as mortality, sexuality and childhood. Above all they express a boundless faith in the power of painting to communicate complex psychological realities with eloquence and humour."
