Catalogue Note
"The suggested 'clothes' are poetic, sensual...they resist the erotic and seductive aura of the reserved but admittedly articulated femininity in Dumas' work. Boogaard's intervention leads the watercolors' process of abstraction back into the personal, human image of expression. A kind of 'round dance' emerges. Seen in their entirety, the small series of paint-overs are like a fantastic performance." Tilman Osterwold, "Water-colors as Physiognomies," in Exh. Cat., Städtische Galerie Ravensburg, Marlene Dumas: Watercolor - Wet Dreams, 2003, p. 38
