Boris Lurie was a young man in Nazi Germany. He survived four years in a number of concentration camps, and saw his mother, sister, and grandmother murdered. He knew death and survival. This retrospective of his early works, drawings, photomontage and sculpture created after WWII, shows his commitment to thought and to integrity.
Much of the exhibition’s focus is on women, simple charcoal drawings, dismembered female forms, collages of distorted pin-ups. It tackles depravity head-on, as well as racism, imperialism, and sexism.
None of Lurie’s works were or are for sale.
