By William Shakespeare. Translated by Hafid Bouazza. Illustrated by Marlene Dumas.
At once comic, tragic and erotic, “Venus & Adonis” (1593) is a poem by William Shakespeare based on passages from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Through a series of expressive ink washes, Marlene Dumas paints new passion into the poem—bodies bleed into one another, lips part in sighs of passion, a flower blooms to life. Desire in all its heady intensity is evocatively washed over the pages. As with Dumas’ wider body of work, however, tragedy is not forgotten and is frighteningly played out with equal intensity. Dumas’ complete suite of 32 works on paper is reproduced here, exactingly placed by the artist throughout the poem. Copublished by Athenaeum and David Zwirner Books as an English/Dutch edition, the book is a marriage of text and image that is as sensual, fleshy and carnal as it is unnerving and disturbing.
