Marlene Dumas - Paintings about Suffering

Marlene Dumas, The Wall, 2009. Oil on linen, 70 7/8 x 118 1/8 x 1 inches

Dumas has been painting with such barebones elegance since the 1970s. In her series Against the Wall she conflates the Wailing Wall and the Security Wall between Israeli and Palestine territories and treats both as a place of suffering.
