Hi Claire, It's an interesting thought. When I look at Boris Lurie's images, they are more confrontational, and graphic in a couple of senses. While the work we have is not sentimental, it has a very different feel about it Although it could be an earlier work of Lurie's, maybe. I enjoyed reading your blog. Thanks so much for your help!

This signature appears on an oil painting which was a gift to the college about 1960; the painting was given by one of our past presidents, James M. Read, who was the U.N. Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, 1951-1959. A former dean told me that it was a painting of a mother and child who were refugees. The painting is in blacks and browns and shows the side view of the mother turned away from the viewer and facing the child. Our art biographical sources are limited here and my Google searches turned up nothing. If anyone has a moment to check basic sources, we would really appreciate it.
