Toward the end of her life, Viennese artist Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (19061996) 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 Drawing on a wealth of unpublished family archives, including decades of correspondence between Marie-Louise and the writer Elias Canetti, the book tells the story of Motesiczky s life from her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."
