Research in the archive of Zbigniew Dlubak has shed light on a fragment of the least known period in the artist’s practice. In the 1950s, having withdrawn himself from artistic and public life, the artist abandoned avant-garde experiments in order to turn towards documentary photography. From 1950 to 1962, Dlubak photographed desolate cityscapes and scenes from small town life, turning their ugliness and gloomy atmosphere into an artistic value.
Only a small number of photographs taken during this period was shown or published, up until now the majority remained in the archive. This exhibition will be on view from December 3 2008 to January 12 2009.
Asymetria Gallery Nowogrodzka 18a m.8, Warsaw.
