FRIEDEL DZUBAS "AFTERTHOUGHT" SCREENPRINT, 1984
Friedel Dzubas (1915-1994) was a Berlin-born, American abstract painter and a key artist associated with both the New York School and the Color Field movement.
Dzubas studied art in Germany before fleeing the Nazis in 1939 and settling in New York City. During the 1940s, Dzubas circulated with some of the leading abstract painters in the city's vital art scene, including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and Katherine Dreier. Dzubas participated in the legendary 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951, a groundbreaking art exhibit featuring a number of his boundary-pushing contemporaries. This exhibition acted as an introduction to the New York School of postwar avant-garde artists.
Dzubas worked in close proximity to, and was strongly influenced by the emerging color field painters. He shared a studio with Helen Frankenthaler as she began pouring and staining her canvases. The two evolved and each surpassed the techniques embraced by the Abstract Expressionists.
"Afterthought" is exemplary of Dzubas' use and love of powerful colours. Combining canary yellow, robin's egg blue, and strong black lines, the artist offers a dynamic and energetic composition. Dzubas' hand is palpable here, through layered, brushy texture of each colour application.
Today Friedel Dzubas' works hang in the permanent collections of some of the most prestigious art institutions in the world; including, the Whitney Museum (NY), the Guggenheim (NY), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (NY), and the Albright-Knox (Buffalo).
