“Name No Names,” by Marlene Dumas uses the visual image as a vehicle which crosses boundaries of race and class in order to suggest a new universal for humanity. The subjects presented in Dumas’ drawing retrospective are not part of a larger postmodern argument which merely debates the existence of a schism between “self” and “other”. ...
Dumas’ early works from the 1970s reveal forays into collage, color abstraction and the fusion of text with image. ... Dumas’ application of dark tones, however, nearly mutes the various gender, sex and racial issues which generate from the juxtaposition of these two images. ... Rather, Dumas clearly shows how words lose power and meaning as soon as they are removed from the fixed, communicative structure of a printed dialogue.
In four series of works created between 1987 and 1990, Dumas condensed the stylistic ideas which were articulated in her earlier works.
