‘Art is Not a Mirror’ — Marlene Dumas Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“Art is not a mirror. Art is a translation of that which you do not know.” Marlene Dumas put this in her 2014 collection The Image as Burden, the title of her Tate retrospective the same year — she paints from photographs and then distorts them, so the picture transforms its source rather than copying it. For her the unknown is the whole point: art carries you toward what you have yet to understand.
