Joyce Landau b. 1 January 1916

Joyce (nee Blumer) with her husband Janek was one of Schulim Krimper's largest clients. She commissioned more than 50 pieces which comprised the sole furnishings for their house in St Ives. She drove the extent and nature of their collection of Australian paintings by Drysdale and Dobell, introduced to her by Janek's closest friend Rudy Komon. The couple also collected European decorative arts.
