Biography Early life Cherniavsky was born in 1929 in Hollywood, California, United States. Her parents were Joseph Cherniavsky and Lara (née Lieberman), Jewish musicians who had emigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union during the Russian Civil War. Her family soon moved back to New York City, where they had lived previously; their stay in Hollywood was relatively short. She grew up in New York and attended the High School of Music & Art and then graduated with a bachelor's degree in painting and art history from Queens College in 1950. By 1985 she had collected enough images that she was able to publish them in several collected volumes. The first was The Medieval Woman. An Illuminated Book of Days (1985), which eventually sold more than 300,000 copies.
