It is a portrait of a man, judging from the title of Middle-Eastern origin. On first view it\u0026rsquo;s a simple work: aside from eyes, nose and mouth, not many details are elaborated. In principle, the word *semite* refers to (most of) the inhabitants of the Middle-East, but in the expression *anti-semitism* the association in common parlance is usually with Jewry. As to whether this man is a Jew or an Arab, Dumas leaves open. She suggests that for her the difference does not matter. In her portraits, Dumas\u0026rsquo; focus is on the specific individual instead of the generic; she does not make her protagonists into symbols for an overriding problematic issue.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe zeefdruk *Semite* is de eerste uit een oplage van 10 prints die Marlene Dumas in 2004 maakte.

De titel suggereert echter een meer beladen betekenis. Het woord *semiet* of *semitisch* verwijst in principe naar de bewoners van het Midden-Oosten, maar kent in de uitdrukking *anti-semitisme* tevens een associatie met het jodendom. Of deze man een jood is of een arabier, laat Dumas echter in het midden. Ze suggereert dat voor haar het verschil er niet toe doet.
