Wende,

Friedel Dzubas, American, born Germany, 1915–1994
2007-96
The largest canvas painting on campus, Wende typifies the monumental scale of Friedel Dzubas's late work. In this painting, Dzubas bridges the expressionism of his youth as a noted figure of the New York School and the Color Field style of his maturity.
