Railroad Collage
Railroad Collage is a controversial mixed media collage produced by Boris Lurie in 1959 which superimposed a pin-up girl onto a well-known liberation photograph, which featured a flatbed of stacked with corpses, juxtaposing the American consumer culture with the Holocaust.[1] The collage which is considered to be an elaboration of Lurie's earlier work, Flatcar Assemblage by Adolf Hitler, is considered to be Boris Lurie most notorious and controversial work.[1][2][3]
