Rabinovich (Rabinowitsch) Lyubov (Lubov) Semyonovna (b. 1907, Libava, Grobiņa District, Courland Province) was a painter. From 1922 she studied at the studio of the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia (AKhRR). In 1926–30 she attended the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (LINZhSA), Monumental Department, in the workshop of A. I. Savinov. In 1932–36 Lyubov Rabinovich was a postgraduate student at LINZhSA.
In 1939–43 she lived in Saratov, where she was engaged in teaching and served as chair of the Saratov Regional Branch of the Union of Artists of the USSR. She took part (together with B. V. Milovidov) in the mural decoration of the Saratov Palace of Pioneers and participated in exhibitions of Saratov artists. In 1941–43 she was an organizer, artistic director, and participant in Saratov “Agitokon” projects.
From 1943 she lived in Moscow. Her Stalingrad steppe studies (1951–53) were executed in a traditional manner, while her Novorossiysk canvases (1970–72) recall the style of the artists of the Jack of Diamonds group of the 1930s. Her Pereslavl landscapes (1983) and later works (On the Moscow Highway (Selling Apples), Landscape with Rowan, Landscape with a Black Dog) were painted in the manner of the so-called “moist” impressionism.
In 1983 Lyubov Rabinovich also turned to sculpture (small plastic forms): Portrait of M. Spivak (plaster), Head of a Model (cement), Reclining Figure (plaster), Irochka (chamotte). Her solo exhibitions were held in Moscow in 1984 and 1994. Her works are held in museums in Moscow, Saratov, Tselinograd, Bugulma, and Alma-Ata.
