Busse was born Luise Busse in Moscow in 1897, when her father was in charge of setting up a modern electricity company in Russia. In Moscow she attended the private painting school of Ivan Dudin and Konstantin Juon. After the start of World War I, her family had to leave the country and returned to Germany. In Munich, Busse continued her training in the studio of graphic artist Emil Preetorius. Further studies followed in Berlin, mainly in portrait painting at the Lewin Funcke School with Lovis Corinth, Willy Jaeckel and Eugen Spiro. After completing her education, she traveled to Russia, Riga, Spain and Italy in the early 1920s. From 1927, with financial support from her father, Busse ran a studio in Berlin. From 1927 to 1930 Busse belonged to the Association of Women Artists in Berlin and from 1930 lived mainly in Spain. With the beginning of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, she left her adopted country and returned to Berlin. During the Second World War, she worked as an interpreter in the post office and after the war had to earn her living with translations and language classes. Although she was able to show her work in exhibitions in the 1950s, she continued to live in difficult financial circumstances.
