Marlene Dumas
Marlene Dumas was born in South Africa in 1953. In 1976, she moved to the Netherlands, where she lives and works so far. Her work is more known in Europe than in America.
Marlene Dumas works mainly in the genre of the portrait. But not in the traditional sense of the word. Sources of its images are photographs from newspapers and magazines, own memory, Flemish painting and polarid pictures. This is portrait painting after the media, talking not about a person, but about the functioning of the images of the human face and body in modern culture. The artist represented Holland at the Venice Biennale 1995.
Bruce Nauman (Bruce Nauman), since the beginning of the 70s, was known as one of the most provocative and innovative American artists.
