With "Tamara: Hommage à David" I want to bring homage to the french painter Jacques Louis David by my intrepretation of his painting 'The Death of Marat (French: La Mort de Marat or Marat Assassiné)' from 1793 of the murdered French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat. It is one of the most famous images of the French Revolution. David was the leading French painter, as well as a Montagnard and a member of the revolutionary Committee of General Security. The painting shows the radical journalist lying dead in his bath on 13 July 1793 after his murder by Charlotte Corday. Painted in the months after Marat's murder, it has been described by T. J. Clark as the first modernist painting, for "the way it took the stuff of politics as its material, and did not transmute it".
