Friedel Dzubas was a German-born American abstract painter known for his contributions to Color Field painting and Lyrical Abstraction. Born on April 20, 1915, in Berlin, Germany, he fled Nazi Germany in 1939 and settled in New York City. Dzubas shared a studio with fellow abstract painter Helen Frankenthaler in the early 1950s and began exhibiting his Abstract Expressionist paintings during this time.
Dzubas's work evolved over the years, and he became associated with Color Field painting in the 1960s. His large-scale paintings often featured fluid, luminous color abstractions. Throughout his career, Dzubas had more than sixty solo exhibitions worldwide and was represented by prominent galleries such as the André Emmerich Gallery and Knoedler Contemporary Arts in New York.
Dzubas's technique involved using Magna paint, an acrylic paint, and he applied thick layers of color over washes, scrubbing the paint into the unprimed canvas. He was also a teacher and lecturer at various institutions, including Dartmouth College, the University of Pennsylvania, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
