Golub is a 1988 documentary film, produced by Kartemquin Films, that examines the life and work of controversial painter, Leon Golub.

The documentary tracks Golub from starting with a blank canvas to a touring North American exhibition and eventually to an exhibition in Northern Ireland.
In 2001, the filmmakers revisited Leon Golub in his final years, and in 2004 released the documentary, Golub: Late Works Are The Catastrophes.
With his previous work being more relevant than ever in the aftermath of September 11, Golub's later paintings have become less graphic and violent.
At one point, Golub admits," my work these days is sort of political, sort of metaphysical, and sort of smart- ass.
I'm playful and hostile."
With his wife Nancy Spero still by his side, the documentary captures the final steps of an artist's journey.
