Marlene Dumas - Artists at Work

Scene taken from the documentary Miss Interpreted by Rudolf Evenhuis & Joost Verhey.

Born in Cape Town South Africa, Marlene Dumas is one of the best-known contemporary artists in the world. In her paintings, usually life-sized, she depicts human figures that wrestle with emotions. The relation between art and female beauty, art and pornography, female models and models of art, all have been a constant theme for Marlene Dumas. The documentary film 'Miss Interpreted' follows the artist's activities for a period of six months while she prepares for an exhibition, thus giving us intimate insights into her work and ideas.
