NO!art MAN BORIS LURIE
FILMDOCUMENTARY by AMIKAM GOLDMAN
SCREENING at Janos Gat Gallery | 1100 Madison Ave | New York
February 17 - March 20, 2004

NO!art Man is a documentary film about the Russian born artist Boris Lurie, who has lived and worked in New York since 1946. This film is a portrait of one of the most radical minds in the New York art world from the early 1960's. For the most part, Lurie's works are powerful and troubling indictments of man's injustice to man. His photomontages of the late 1950's and early 1960's have been described as the most relevant and shocking images of the period. Today Lurie's images are as strong and relevant as when they were made. This film presents an artist who is still considered unknown to the general art audience.

The film is based on conversations between the director, Amikam Goldman, and Boris Lurie, from their first meeting in 1999 through 2001. The film also includes interviews with art historians, dealers, and artist friends of Boris Lurie.
