Anna Noëh (1926-2016) was an artist mainly known for her paintings depicting scenes of Inuit daily life. She was born in Hungary and later went to Budapest to study at the Academy of Applied Arts (1952-56). Noëh then went to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice (1956-57). After her studies, Noëh immigrated to Montreal in 1957. In Montreal, her interest in Inuit culture and the Canadian Arctic began to grow. Noëh visited the North of Canada often and depicted scenes of the Inuit groups living there. Her works depicting the Inuit lifestyle were then exhibited in 1970 and granted status as anthropological art pieces. She is a part of many private and public collections. She has been exhibited at museums such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée des Beaux-Arts Nationale du Québec and the Musée D’Art de Joliette.
