Die Malerin
The first comprehensive catalog of an important German-Jewish expressionist painter. On the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the artist's birth, this catalogue presents for the first time an overview of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky's paintings in an elegant volume of full color reproductions accompanied by illuminating commentary. Born in Vienna, she studied with Max Beckmann, who became a significant influence on the young artist. Later, in exile in London, Motesiczky grew close to Oskar Kokoschka and became acquainted with some of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century, including Elias Canetti, with whom she shared a long and intimate relationship. The paintings and drawings in this book explore the artist's transition from the edgy realism of her early years to the softer and more poetic paintings of her later work. Her portraits, for which she is most famous, include compelling self-examinations as well as a moving series devoted to her mother. Essays on Motesiczky's youth in Vienna, her friendship with Beckmann, and her time in London provide crucial background to a unique and fascinating artist whose wider recognition is long overdue.

Marie-Louise Von Motesiczky, 1906-1996
Painter Marie-Louise Motesiczky's life spanned most of the twentieth century. Her oeuvre, spanning seven decades, includes more than 300 paintings--mostly portraits, self-portraits, and still lifes. After establishing a promising career in her native Vienna, as well as Frankfurt, Berlin, and Paris, Motesiczky fled to Britain during the Nazi era. There, she rebuilt her life and became one of the most important emigre artists in her adopted homeland. But despite her prodigious output, Motesiczky's work has remained a well-kept secret until recently. She is referred to by biographer Jill Lloyd as the "undiscovered Expressionist," a key figure in the movement in Britain. The power and honesty of her portraits have led eminent art historian Ernst Gombrich to compare her to Albrecht Durer. AUTHOR: Dr. Ines Schlenker is a researcher at the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust. She has published on National Socialism, exile and "degenerate" art and contributed to Marie-Louise von Motesiczky. 430 colour & 200 b/w illustrations
The Undiscovered Expressionist
Toward the end of her life, Viennese artist Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (1906–1996) at last gained recognition as one of Austria’s most important 20th-century painters. The great art historian Ernst Gombrich praised the artist’s striking individuality and the delicacy and subtlety of her painting. This book celebrates Motesiczky’s work and situates the artist in the troubled history of her times. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished family archives, including decades of correspondence between Marie-Louise and the writer Elias Canetti, the book tells the story of Motesiczky’s life from her childhood in Vienna amidst talented and distinguished family members to her later years living and working among other exiled artists in England. The book also offers a sensitive critical study of Marie-Louise’s paintings, discussing particular works and the circumstances that surrounded their creation. These include compelling self-portraits, a moving series of paintings of the artist’s aging mother, and lyrical depictions of her English garden.
