Luba Genush

Luba Genush (born 9 September 1924) is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist of Ukrainian birth. Throughout her career she has practiced printmaking and painting, as well as mixed media, drawing, ceramics, computer art, and "collagraphs," which are described as "collaged and cannibalized prints reprinted to form a new print."[1]

A native of Odessa, Genush began her studies at the School of Fine Arts in Kiev, where she studied from 1938 until 1941. In 1942, her family fled the Nazis and emigrated to Vienna, Austria.[2] There, Genush attended the Academy of Fine Arts from 1943 to 1948. In 1948 she emigrated to Montreal, Canada, where she studied ceramics as a pupil of J. Cartier at the École du Meuble from 1955 to 1956.[3] From 1958 to 1959 she studied etching at the Musée des Beaux-arts de Montreal. Her work with computer generated images, concerned with the relationship between humans and technology, has been featured in exhibitions with the National Gallery of Canada, the Musée des Beaux-arts de Montreal, and the Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec.[4] In addition to showing in North America, Genush’s work has also been featured in exhibitions that have travelled abroad, such as in Montreal-Moscow.[5] She continues to live and work in Montreal.[6]

Genush was married to Pierre Gloor, a Swiss-born neurologist, until his death; the couple had two children.[7]
