Here, we see an untitled work by Friedel Dzubas, who passed away in 1994, created with an unknown medium. Dzubas, as a German-born American painter, navigated a complex identity shaped by his experiences as an immigrant during a time of significant political and social upheaval. Dzubas's abstract expressionist works often seem to defy traditional narratives, instead offering up alternative visions of freedom and possibility. You can almost feel the release in his gestural brushstrokes, as if pushing back against the rigid constraints of his past. He once stated his paintings aimed to be "emotions, not illustrations." His works resonate in a deeply personal way, reflecting both the scars of history and the enduring hope for a brighter future. Dzubas urges us to confront difficult truths and to embrace the transformative power of art.
