Genia Berger (Kharkiv, Russian Empire, 1907 – 2000) was an Israeli painter and stage designer. She came from a traditional Zionist family, and her training was spread across Germany, Palestine and France.
In 1926 she emigrated to Palestine, where she studied architecture at the Technion Montefiore and painting with Yitzhak Frenkel in Tel Aviv. Between 1929 and 1933 she studied painting and set design at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. Back in Palestine she earned her living designing theatre sets and, in the 1950s, returned to painting and began working in sculpture and ceramic relief.
Her early painting follows the post-impressionist style, but from around the age of forty she focused mainly on set design for theatre and opera, strongly influenced by Russian Modernist decorative art. Her productions include 'The King Solomon and the Cobbler' (Ohel Theater, 1943) and 'Khovanshchina' (Israel National Opera, 1952). In 1953 she became one of the founders of the artists' village of Ein Hod, in northern Israel.
