Mrs. Berger was born in Charkov, RUSSIA.
Genia studied at the Royal Art Academy in Berlin from
1930 to 1933.
Later on, she continued her training in Paris.
The years in Paris broadened her horizons, enriched
her and shaped the artist in
her. The artisan school provided the foundations of
modem art, which Genia
was to embrace in her painting, drawing and work for
the theater.
She liked to paint landscapes and portraits and indeed
does very well in this
genre. The rich palette she acquired during the Paris
years, 1934 - 1936, has
liberated her from the drabness of superficiality
and a single dimension and has
endowed her brush with freedom and ease. This is particularly
apparent in her
many water colors, which are lucid and radiant, imbued
with freshness and
spontaneous joy.
Genia's ceramics have won her the reputation of a
unique artist. In 1953, at the
invitation of Marcel Janco, she joined others to establish
the artist's colony at
EIN-HOD. Genia Berger is an artist of renown. She
has received prizes and
awards, has had many one- man shows both in Israel
and abroad and in 1963
represented Israel at the Sao Paolo Biennale.
Her work deserves a long and wonderful life. It gives
much pleasure to those
who look at it. Genia Berger deserves all the laurels
she has received.
