그림 소개

Marlene Dumas painted Albino in 1986; it is at the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. The subject is a Black African person with albinism, whose appearance unsettles conventional racial categories. Dumas coloured the hair and skin an unhealthy green, further disrupting a division into black and white. The portrait questions the ability of race and colour to describe identity adequately. Raised as a white woman under South African apartheid, Dumas repeatedly addressed racial politics alongside questions of gender, beauty and the violence of oppression.

미술관의 설명

Since the early 1980s, Marlene Dumas has created paintings and drawings that raise provocative questions about gender, beauty, sexuality, race, and related conditions of oppression and violence. As a white woman who was raised under apartheid rule in South Africa, some of her strongest works tackle complicated themes of racial politics.

This representation of a black African albino suggests that race and color are social constructs that fail to correspond to identity. By choosing a subject whose very existence defies conventional racial categories, and by rendering his skin tone and hair color in a sickly green hue, Dumas pictorially destabilized the division between black and white.
