abstract: The National Committee for a Free Germany (Nationalkomitee Freies Deutschland, or NKFD), founded in July 1943 in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, was a German anti-Nazi organization that operated in the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1968 Werner Tübke, the most brilliant painter of the Leipzig school of painting, was commissioned to do a monumental painting of the NKFD and of it’s political achievements. Tübke planed to paint the story of the NKFD as a political allegory. Thus his first drawings and paintings of the topic are anti-fascist allegories drawing heavily on traditional symbolism. But party officials like Alfred Kurella heavily censored Tübke’s designs for the painting. Kurella insisted on a non-allegorical painting, instead he asked the artist to focus on Walter Ulbricht, then chief of state and head of the communist party of the GDR. And in fact Tübke’s last of series of NKFD paintings focuses on Ulbricht. His last painting may be regarded as a turning point in Tübke’s career as a painter. In the following decade he tried his best to get free from official guidelines - more or less successfully.
