After the early death of her father, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky grew up in the sheltered environment of the Jewish banking family of her mother Henriette von Lieben. She left school at the age of thirteen to take private drawing tuition. From 1927 she studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt under Max Beckmann, who shaped her style and was to remain a lifelong friend and influence. After Austria’s annexation to Nazi Germany she fled via the Netherlands to London. In exile she was in close contact with other émigré artists, including Oskar Kokoschka and Elias Canetti. As an artist of independent means, she lived for the rest of her life in Britain. Her works were first exhibited in Vienna at the Secession in 1966.
