Lenore Golub (1931–2024) was a Brooklyn-born painter based in New York, known for her small-scale abstractions and landscapes. She came of age amidst the roiling energy of New York’s midcentury art scene, alongside the Ninth Street painters, yet she remained at a remove as a stay-at-home mother and wife. Golub’s disciplined pursuit of a cohesive body of work was unknown even to her daughters until late in her life, when one of them discovered a trove of paintings in the family home. Dozens of paintings, mostly on 9 x 12 inch canvases, revealed the development of dreamy, color-rich themes: expressionist landscapes, geometric explorations, and painterly all-over abstractions.
