Wounded City of Dubrovnik (B&W image) 1996

"Wounded City of Dubrovnik" is a 1996 black and white ink drawing by Croatian artist Alfred Freddy Krupa. The work depicts the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, known for its historic architecture, as a series of black shapes on a white ground. The abstract and gestural style of the drawing evokes a sense of destruction and fragmentation, perhaps alluding to the damage the city suffered during the Croatian War of Independence. The work highlights Krupa's skill in using simple forms and expressive lines to convey a complex and powerful message.
