- Summary:
- Lurie's confrontational, acerbic paintings and installations underscore his commitment to social justice and the memory of the Shoah. Incorporating sayings, Jewish symbols and noted political figures, Boris Lurie's (1924-2008) works of art not only express suffering but function as symbols of hope in spite of pain. Life with the Dead presents more than 50 works by Lurie from 1950-70 that illustrate his experiences before and after the Holocaust.
