Early life Marie-Louise von Motesiczky was born in Vienna in 1906 to Edmund von Motesiczky (1866–1909) and Henriette von Lieben (1882–1978). Edmund was the illegitimate son of Franz Ritter von Hauer (1822–1899), Director of the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, but was given the surname of his mother's husband Matthias Motesiczky and partly brought up by the family of the conductor Franz Schalk. Edmund had considerable musical talent, becoming a gifted (amateur) cellist. Her mother, Henriette von Lieben, came from one of the most wealthy and cultured families in the Habsburg Empire. They had donated many of the artworks in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and, in their palatial salon opposite the opera, Hugo von Hofmannsthal had read his first poems. Their own art collection at the family's country estate in Hinterbrühl was formidable. In order to marry Henriette, who was Jewish, in 1903, Edmund von Motesiczky renounced Catholicism to enter the Protestant Church, which Henriette did likewise. Their two children Karl Motesiczky (1904–1943) and Marie-Louise were baptised as Lutherans. The von Liebens were steeped in the social and intellectual life of Vienna as well as having an impact on the early history of psychoanalysis. Marie-Louise's grandmother Anna von Lieben (née Todesco), was…

Life and work After leaving school at only thirteen, Marie-Louise attended art classes in Vienna, The Hague, Frankfurt, Paris and Berlin. In 1927/28 she was invited by Max Beckmann to join his master class at the Städelschule in Frankfurt. Beckmann had been introduced to the Motesiczky family in 1920 and it was through them that he met the singer Mathilde von Kaulbach (‘Quappi’, 1904–86), who became his second wife in 1925. Beckmann was a lifelong friend and mentor to Marie-Louise whose influence can be seen in her early portraiture and still-lifes, and the allegorical subjects from the 1940s onwards. The second great influence on her work after Max Beckmann was Oskar Kokoschka. Her large circle of friends also included the sculptor Marie Duras, the art historian Sir Ernst Gombrich and the artist Milein Cosman. The day after the Anschluss (the annexation of Austria into the German Third Reich) on 12 March 1938, Marie-Louise and her mother Henriette left Vienna, going to Holland where Marie-Louise’s aunt, Ilse von Leembruggen, lived in the Hague. There she had her first solo exhibition in January 1939, but soon left with her mother for England, travelling via Switzerland. In London they renewed their acquaintance with…

Posthumous recognition At her death in 1996, the collection, along with the bulk of her possessions, passed into her estate and the executors subsequently made it over to the Trust set up in 1992 for the preservation and promotion of her work, support of the arts and other charitable objects. It received charitable status on 21 November 1996 as the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust. A centenary exhibition was organised in 2006-07, starting at Tate Liverpool and travelling to Frankfurt, Vienna and Passau, then to Southampton Art Gallery in Britain. This was followed by the publication of a biography in 2007, a catalogue raisonné of the artist’s paintings in 2009 and two exhibitions at Galerie St Etienne in New York in 2010 and 2014. In recent years, the Trust has been making donations of Marie-Louise’s work to public collections. She is represented in local, regional, university and national museums in Britain, the Republic of Ireland, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and the USA. The great majority of Marie-Louise’s drawings and sketchbooks, the archive of her and her family’s papers, along with other documentary items connected to her life and work, have been presented to Tate where the Archive Gallery at Tate…
