'''Mario Dubsky''' (1939 - 1985) was an artist born in London to Viennese Jewish parents who had converted to Christianity.<ref name="oxforddnb">=http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/101064268/Mario-Dubsky "Mario Dubsky", ''Oxford DDNB''</ref>

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.<ref>Patrick Proctor; Self-Portrait, London, 1991, pp.34-35 ISBN 0297811665</ref>
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<ref>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.</ref> 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<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/your_paintings/paintings/laocoonese-42053 (dead link|date=November 2013)</ref> 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<ref name="oxforddnb" /><ref>X Factor, Exhibition Catalogue, intro by Peter de Francia, South London Art Gallery, London, May 1984, p.20</ref> and returned to expressionist figuration. His last solo exhibition ''X Factor'' at South London Gallery in 1983 contained Cabaret Valhalla<ref>http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dubsky-cabaret-valhalla-t04908 "Cabaret Valhalla", Mario Dubsky, Tate</ref> now held by the Tate Galler. His poems and illustrations in Tom Pilgrim's ''Progress Among The Consequences of Christianity'', London, 1981.<ref>Gay Men's Press London 1981, ISN 0907040098</ref> with an introduction by [[Edward Lucie-Smith]], was claimed by the artist as his angry response to the 1977 Blasphemy Trial of ''[[Gay News]]''.<ref>X Factor, Exhibition Catalogue, South London Art Gallery, London, May 1984 pp.26-30</ref>

Dubsky died on 4 August 1985 following a period of illness caused by HIV infection<ref name="oxforddnb" /> 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.<ref=http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/artists/mario-dubsky "Watch a slideshow of 12 paintings by Mario Dubsky". ''BBC''</ref>
