Four separate canvases come together to narrate a tale of 'The Messengers'. There is no fixed meaning here; the painting's genesis does not come from a specific text. Dumas' presentation revels in the loose, elastic fluidity of meanings provided to us by the generic faerie tale, whilst remaining firstly, and finally, framed as visual references. As Matthias Winzen has suggested, Dumas' paintings blossom where language ceases to provide adequate means of understanding or interpreting feelings. Dumas' Messengers encircle the same subtexts one finds in the Brothers Grimm's works, for example, or Nordic folktales. Explicit of nothing, yet implicit of a wide range of meanings, three dark skeletons, framed against narrow portals lit with an eerie incandescence, bring a small, ambiguously described gift for a three-year old girl, who stridently confronts the viewer with the same stature, size and mien as the skeletal Messengers.Anathema to Dumas' painted universe, yet central to the structure of most faerie tales, is the concept of innocence and, in most cases, its loss felt by a young individual. As Anna Tilroe writes, "Innocence does not seem to exist in her world view... Even the babies she draws and paints fail to evoke the least impression of innocence". (Anna Tilroe, "The Unfulfillment and the Surfeit", Parkett, vol. 38, Zurich 1993, p. 94). The young child, the recipient of the gifts from the ethereal skeletons, does not display any 'immaculate purity' that Tilroe associates with innocence. Rather, this infant exhibits a certain level of experience, which one reads physically on the child: her confrontational mien; the fact she stands nearly six feet tall, mirroring the size of the skeletons; the fact her body, executed by bold, loose, economic strokes of the brush, embraces the fragmentary, the imperfect, all layer this figure with an experiential dynamic. Tilroe notes that, rather than vehicles for interpretations of innocence, Dumas' children become paragons of "... ignorance, nakedness and vulnerability [that] are primarily a body. A body that in its terrifyingly tender youth leaves no illusion about its end." (Ibid., p. 97)Although not produced by single gestures, Dumas' painting here seems to arrive at its Image as though color, pigment and medium have landed all at once and then coalesced together into unexpected configurations. Thus, an immediacy of feeling exists: the skeletons, especially, betray sharp bodily utterances such as gasps, exclamations or shudders. As Johanna Burton notes, "Dumas asks us to re-see her subjects by magnifying them and abstracting them, by disregarding natural proportions and discarding the comforts of context. As she literally zooms in on her subjects, she makes manifest a perversion or twisting of received social knowledge, a tactical corruption or misinterpretation of meaning." (See www.newmuseum.org/more_exh_m_dumas.php). Some passages of paint here, however, are surprisingly thick; the skeletons' heads, for example, have a heavy, greasy delineation, which distinguishes them from the dryer passages of looser paint forming, for example, the cluster of young girls one finds at the second skeleton's legs. This locks their Image onto the canvas, making these dark sentinels and harbingers from 'the other realm' from whence they came just that little bit darker.Dumas' form of expressionism seems to continue the concept of painting begun by Edvard Munch and furthered by Francis Bacon. An array of strange, unearthly colors makes up the artist's palette here, engendering the frightening aura of the skeletons and heightening her enquiry into the human body. This also lends her work an innate violence, as was certainly the case with Munch's and Bacon's terse aesthetic, and which fuels her passionate take on the praxis and lexis of painting. As Marina Warner notes, "... the daubs and streaks of the paint, the irresolution of color in the skin tones seem to struggle to put some distance of abhorrence between herself and the livid flesh." (Marina Warner, "Marlene Dumas: In The Charnel House of Love", Ibid., p. 76).

Description: B. 1953THE PASSIONmeasurements61 by 49cm.alternate measurements24 by 19 1/4 in.signed, titled and dated 1994 watercolour and ink on paperPROVENANCEGalerie Paul Andriesse, AmsterdamEXHIBITEDCologne, Kunst Sankt Peter, Männeransichten, 1994NOTE"Is the information necessary in a work contained in the work itself? I say it isn't. It is mostly contained outside the work. One can [I do] and must, at times, put words in the mouth of the work and/or take them away again. Our eyes are close to our ears" (the artist cited in Marlene Dumas: Suspect, Milan 2003 p. 17). Executed in extremely diluted watercolour, The Passion represents one of Dumas' most intense and profound works on paper. Depicting two watery faces pressed together in an intimate moment, the dark ink outlines bleed into the surrounding watercolour, blurring their features. The most prominent face is upside-down, disengaged from the body and painted an oxygen-deprived blue-grey. The accompanying face is composed in warmer red tones, and together the faces fill the frame, with no other visual context. The only information Dumas deemed relevant for the background is the title, found in her fragile script in the upper left corner: The Passion. Familiarity with Western Tradition and Dumas' oeuvre leads the viewer to Christ's final hours on earth. The same year she painted The Passion, Dumas painted a collection of twenty-one portraits of Jesus. With this knowledge, the pallid face of The Passion becomes that of the lifeless Christ. 1994 also saw Dumas paint what are arguably her most renowned works, the Models series and the Rejects series. These ink washes depict famous models, and their anonymous, ugly opposites, respectively. The separate series, when considered together, form dyads that focus on attraction and repulsion, inclusion and exclusion, and the politics of group dynamics—prominent themes in Dumas' work that are often linked to her upbringing in Apartheid-torn South Africa.

Description: Dumas, Marlène 1953 Cape Town and they tried to become one.1993. 5 works: gouache and India ink on paper mounted on card. Dimensions: a.)24,8 x 19 cm, b.)26 x 24,5 cm, c.)24,5 x 19,6 cm, d.)24,4 x 24,5 cm, e.)24,5 x 23 cm. Signed, dated and titled on lower right of the last work: and they tried to become one. Framed. Provenance: Gallery Zeno X, Antwerp. Marlène Dumas's oeuvre is characterized by constant and clear main subjects: "the sensualisation of the image's surface, the interplay of black and white on the drawing paper versus black and white as a race issue, the search for whether or how the nudity of the human body exploited/abused by the media, pornographisized by means of photography could be re-conquered for eroticism and aura by means of drawing, the deliberate confusion created through seemingly clear text inserts into the image that then can be interpreted in yet a completely different way, the subtly organized transgression between what was wanted and what just happened when drawing, between intention and coincidence appearing as coherent, intellectual reflection and the meticulous plan, which in the image appear as seemingly spontaneous, as carelessly or even incorrectly applied, the burden of art history with its old and new masters as a welcome topic to chafe at for Dumas to find a position of her own, the delight taken in paradoxes.
