Biography:

Dina Matus (1898-1942/1944?) was a Polish-Jewish visual artist, born in Bialystok, who worked in painting, printmaking, stage design and also designed theatre costumes. From 1919 she was a member of the Yiddish Jung. In the 1920s she trained in Berlin, simultaneously producing illustrations for the Newa Verlag publishing house and typeface designs for tailoring houses. Towards the end of the decade, already in Lodz, she turned to designing costumes and scenographic settings commissioned by the Ararat theatre. In the following years, she also collaborated with, among others, the Hebrew Drama Studio at the Lodz branch of WIZO (Women's International Zionist Organization). In 1940 she found herself in the Lodz ghetto. She died during the war in unknown circumstances.
