| German-born Dzubas settled
in New York City in 1939, where he met and befriended art critic Clement
Greenberg as well as many fellow artists. But it was his direct association
with painter Helen Frankenthaler (with whom he shared a studio in 1952)
that led Dzubas to begin to paint in an abstract manner, experimenting boldly
with color. Augenblick (German for "moment") demonstrates
his choice of rich, varied color and spontaneous swirling gesture. |
