Painter, Collage Artist, b. 1924 - d. 2008

Lurie, born in 1924, was incarcerated at the age of 17 and transported to various ghettos, labor camps and Nazi concentration camps including Riga, Lenta, Stutthoh and Buchenwald. After being liberated from Buchenwald in April of 1945, Lurie emigrated to the United States. A decade later he became co-founder of New York City's March Group, also known as the NO! Art Collective. Lurie's works have been called a powerful and troubling indictment of man's injustice to fellow man.
