Born on December 5, 1926, Myra Landau was from Bucharest, Romania, and has lived in several countries. When her family moved through Europe and finally arrived in Brazil (and later moved to Mexico), Landau began to experiment with painting. She began with figurative works but following a suggestion by her uncle, Marcel Janco, an artist credited with the founding of Dadaism, Landau moved toward abstract painting, where she found her niche. In addition to painting, Landau also worked with engraving in a series called Metal Relief.
Landau also has taught and worked in art research. She currently lives in Holland. She has had over 60 solo exhibits and over a hundred collective shows. Her work has been shown all over the world.
