Marie-Louise von Motesiczky worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Marie-Louise von Motesiczky as Austrian artist (1906-1996).
Marie-Louise von Motesiczky was born at Vienna in 1906. Her recorded nationality is Austria. She trained at Städelschule.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
She worked as painter.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Austria shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Marie-Louise von Motesiczky died in 1996, aged 90. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
