Katia Granoff

Orphaned at the age of sixteen, Granoff studied in Switzerland earning a degree in literature before moving to France.

For the duration of the war she lived in a medieval castle along with the painter Georges Bouche, whose work she had shown in her Boulevard Haussman gallery.

Granoff was a supporter of female artists, and she often exhibited the works of Anne French, Fahrelnissa Zeid, and Chana Orloff.

[1] Granoff received an award from the French Academy for her Anthology of Russian Poetry (1961), and her later autobiographical works spoke to the relationships between Jews and Christians.

Her legacy survives in her many poems and recorded works,[3] sung by the likes of Monique Morelli and Edith Desternes.
