“In clearing the canvas of all unessentials, I was more and more reduced to a few, simple, meaningful forms, and these forms were the content of my message. Naturally, color came more and more into play, and I discovered that what I can reach emotionally and express by color is infinite.”

- Friedel Dzubas, as quoted in: Charles W. Millard, “Interview with Friedel Dzubas”, Friedel Dzubas, Washington, D.C. 1983, p. 28, catalogue for exhibition at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
