Celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky's birth, this exhibition brings the work of this acclaimed, yet relatively unknown, artist to a much wider audience than ever before.

The exhibition presents around 70 paintings and a number of drawings, exploring the transition from her hard-edged realist style of the twenties to the poetic realism of her later work. Motesiczky is particularly known for her portraits, including compelling self-portraits and a moving series devoted to her ageing mother recording her decline.
