Follow the creation of "White Squad X", one of artist Leon Golub's monumental canvases, in the award-winning documentary Golub. A unique blend of three themes--art, politics, and the media--the 56-minute film examines the role of violence in the modern world as depicted in the artist's paintings. Known for his sense of history and political activism, Golub powerfully portrays the human condition in situations of oppression and conflict through unconventional artistic techniques. You'll see images of torture, war, and brutality come to life in close-ups of the artist at work. Other highlights include interviews with museum-goers about the relationship between art and society, and archival footage.
