    Abstract: Boris Lurie (1924–2008) was an American artist, who was born into a Jewish family in Leningrad (today Saint Petersburg). He spent his childhood in Riga. In August 1941, the Germans began the deportation of the Jewish population to the ghetto. The artist’s mother, sister and grandmother as well as the artist’s teenage girlfriend were shot in the Rumbula forests on the outskirts of Riga in December 1941. The Rumbula massacre was one of the greatest atrocities to be carried out in the course of two days by the Einsatzkommandos, in which some 30,000 Jews were killed. Boris and his father found themselves in concentration camps in Stutthof, and then in Buchenwald, from which they were liberated in May 1945. Shortly after the war ended, they emigrated to the USA. Until the end of his life, the artist lived and worked in New York. Lurie’s creative output encompassed many fields: he was a visual artist – creating paintings, installation and objects – as well as a writer and poet. His activity as he saw it was a form of protest against pop art and abstract expressionism – prevalent in the USA at the time. He did not care whether his art gained acclaim on the artworld market. Together with Stanley Fisher and Sam Goodman, he founded the NO!Art movement. To Lurie, “‘NO’ means not accepting everything that you are told and thinking of yourself. And it is also an expression of dissatisfaction.” His was art that was politically engaged and called for social action, art that was spontaneous, anarchic and therapeutic. Boris Lurie was psychologically affected by the Holocaust and his art was irrevocably linked to that experience – a ceaseless attempt to work through the trauma of war. Lurie created a unique symbolic language, in which authenticity and emotional tension went beyond the accepted norms of what is deemed appropriate. The recurrent leitmotifs of his work are footage from concentration camps, the Star of David, snaps of pinup girls cut out from magazines and the word ‘NO’ – given prominence in many of his works. The artist’s legacy – the majority of his works and archival material – are the property of the Boris Lurie Art Foundation in New York. The mission of the Foundation is to preserve and bring before the public the art of Boris Lurie, while making the viewers aware of the complex issues that were the impetus of these works.

    Chasydzkie powroty do miejsc nie-zapomnianych (2018)

    Keywords: Polen ; Chassidim (Motiv)
    Abstract: The album "Returns" is a collection of artistically outstanding photographs, a record of passion and many years of work by their author, and finally the image of the world that managed to survive, although it was forever to disappear from the face of the earth. The figures of Hasidim from Polish town of Bobowa, Lelów, Góra Kalwaria, Rymanów and Le ajsk are usually seen on photographic plates from a century ago. However, Agnieszka Traczewska is a contemporary photo-graphic artist documenting, as for the remains of the Jewish heritage: cemeteries, tombs of tzadikim, synagogues, descendants of Jews who once lived in these areas. Two worlds meet in her photographs: 1, marked with destroyed stone graves, and the other, of a living people. Album "Powroty" to kolekcja znakomitych artystycznie fotografii, zapis pasji oraz wieloletniej pracy ich autorki, a wreszcie wizerunek swiata, ktory zdolal ocalec, choc mial na zawsze zniknac z powierzchni ziemi. Postacie chasydow z Bobowej, Lelowa, Gory Kalwarii, Rymanowa czy Lezajska- widujemy zwykle na kliszach fotograficznych sprzed stulecia. Jednak Agnieszka Traczewska jest foto-graficzka wspolczesna, dokumentujaca, jak na pozostalosci po zydowskim dziedzictwie: cmentarze, groby cadykow, do synagog, przyjezdzaja potomkowie Zydow mieszkajacych niegdys na tych terenach. Na jej zdjeciach spotykaja sie dwa swiaty: jeden, znaczony znisz-czonymi kamiennymi grobami ii drugi, zywych ludzi swoim wygladem przypominajacy przod-kow, sprawiajacy wrazenie, jakby czas sie cofnal. Autorka ukazuje wedrowki podczas, ktorych chasydzi z calego swiata przybywaja na groby cadykow w rocznice ich smierci (,"jorzeit"). Wierza, ze w ten szczegolny dzien dusza cadyka zstepuje na ziemie, a jego wstawiennictwo u Boga moze zapewnic im blogoslawienstwo. Fotografie Traczewskiej, ktora wbrew zwyczajowi zostala dopuszczona do swiata zwykle niedostepnego obcym, maja walor historyczny, ale przede wszystkim sa intymnym portretem ludzi przezywajacych tajemnice wiary.
