Special exhibit on display at The HC until December 5

"I try my first oil painting on a plywood board. The paints are difficult to manage and very messy.
I think I am doing very badly, but then I try again: maybe I am not doing so badly...But since no one taught me anything about art, there is nothing to do but to try.”
___________________________
Through visual testimony and the context of art history, Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition about Boris Lurie, an acclaimed artist, writer, and Holocaust survivor.
Centered around Lurie's earliest work, the so-called "War Series," as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from his personal collection, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma, haunting memories, and a lifelong quest for freedom.
Learn about Boris Lurie's life before the Holocaust, his experiences during the war, and his journey to find himself again through creative outlets.
