A Martinique native, Césaire (1913 – 2008) was one of the most important spokesmen for anti-colonialism for nearly 75 years, in French-speaking lands and beyond. While his poetry searched for a fitting voice for an indigenous Martiniquan identity, his political pamphlets and activism helped give real voice and traction to the anticolonial movement. Also referencing the pictorial logic of Cubism in these collages, Marshall tries to evoke the feeling of the poem's tropes in a semi-abstract form. Snippets of different landscapes are brought together into a single image, which in turn seems to form a new landscape."},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"De titel van de reeks *At the end of the Wee Hours* (1984 – 86) refereert naar het refrein van het gedicht [*A Notebook of a Return to my Native Land*](http://kboo.fm/sites/default/files/AIME%20CESAIRE--NOTEBOOK%20OF%20A%20RETURN%20TO%20A%20NATIVE%20LAND.pdf) (1939) van Aimé Césaire (1913-2008). \r\n\r\nIn dit gedicht ontdekt Marshall hoe politiek en poëzie samengeweven kunnen worden tot een magisch verhaal. De Martinikaan Aimé Césaire was gedurende bijna 75 jaar één van de belangrijkste woordvoerders van het antikolonialisme, zowel in de Franstalige wereld, als daarbuiten. In zijn poëzie zoekt hij naar een passende stem voor de inheemse identiteit van Martinique. Met behulp van het analytische kubistische model probeert Marshall het gevoel van de tropen, weergegeven in het gedicht, op te roepen zonder daarbij de realistische details te reduceren tot vorm en textuur. Knipsels van verschillende landschappen zijn samengebracht in één beeld, die op hun beurt een nieuw landschap lijken te vormen.
