Mario Dubsky (1939 - 1985) was an artist born in London to Viennese Jewish parents who had converted to Christianity. Accepted at the Slade School of Fine Art at the unusually young age of 17, Dubsky's early work was influenced by the work of the Anglo-Jewish artist David Bomberg, a Slade School alumnus of 40 years earlier.〔Patrick Proctor; Self-Portrait, London, 1991, pp.34-35 ISBN 0297811665〕 Dubsky was included in the New Generation show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1966 and 1968. Awarded a Harkness Fellowship he traveled to New York, where he lived from 1969 until 1971 In New York, Dubsky and John Button co-created a large mural〔Rich Wandel, Photo of Agit-Prop Photo Montage Mural by Mario Dubsky and John Button, 1971, 2.4m x 10m, National Archives of Lesbian and Gay History, New York.〕 in paint and collage at the then-headquarters of the Gay Activists Alliance. The mural was lost in the arson attack that destroyed the building. In the late 1960s, Dubsky developed a more abstract colour field manner of painting with figuration, as in the large-scale Laocconese〔() 〕 of 1968 at University College London named after the classical sculpture, the Laocoon. From the 1970s, Dubsky liked to sketched prehistoric bone and skeleton forms at the Natural History Museum〔〔X Factor, Exhibition Catalogue, intro by Peter de Francia, South London Art Gallery, London, May 1984, p.20〕 and returned to expressionist figuration. His last solo exhibition ''X Factor'' at South London Gallery in 1983 contained Cabaret Valhalla now held by the Tate Gallery. His poems and illustrations in Tom Pilgrim's ''Progress Among The Consequences of Christianity'', London, 1981.〔Gay Men's Press London 1981, ISN 0907040098〕 with an introduction by Edward Lucie-Smith, was claimed by the artist as his angry response to the 1977 Blasphemy Trial of ''Gay News''.〔X Factor, Exhibition Catalogue, South London Art Gallery, London, May 1984 pp.26-30〕 Dubsky died on 4 August 1985 following a period of illness caused by HIV infection〔 and is buried in the eastern section of Highgate Cemetery alongside the main west path. Dubsky's work is held in a number of public collections.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Watch a slideshow of 12 paintings by Mario Dubsky )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mario Dubsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
