Dzama, Marcel
The Fight La bataille
2000–01 2000-2001

The drawing depicts three figures in the style of a boxing promotional poster under the title “The Fight.” Dracula, Lion Monster and a white male-looking figure labeled “Marcel Dzama” are seen taking identical sparring positions, ready to fight. Dzama routinely signs the front of his works in this fashion, but rarely with such a direct implication that a figure represents a self-portrait.
