About the Item

Marg Moll (born Margarethe Haeffner; 2 August 1884 – 15 March 1977) was a German sculptor, painter, and author. She stated once that she would rather do sculptures because she tried to avoid competition between her and her husband, a painter. Moll was strongly influenced by Henri Matisse as a young artist and spent her life contributing to his form of art, although at times her art was destroyed and criticized by Nazis because it was modern art. Moll was known for being very high spirited when it came to Matisse, was known as the “Director’s Wife” during some time of her later life and known for making an “ultra-modern house” in Berlin designed by Hans Scharoun, German architect best known for his design on the Berlin Philharmonic concert hall in Berlin, Germany. From 1907 to 1908 Marg studied at Académie Matisse, Paris, and founded the Matisse School in Paris with her husband, Oskar Moll, in 1908 to educate and promote the modernist aesthetics in arts including Matisse's form of art. In 1908, Marg and her husband met Henri Matisse. In the same year, Matisse painted his famous portrait of Greta Moll, now located in the National Gallery in London. When Marg began to work with Matisse, she concentrated more heavily on sculpture, perfecting her technique and using all sorts of sculpting materials. Marg painted and sculpted her entire life but her sculpting style over time changed from Matisse-like figurative arts to a much more modern form of art like Constantin Brâncuși’s works. Her works incorporated various styles of German art, including Expressionism and Bauhaus style. She experienced these forms of art as the wife of Oskar Moll, who was the director of Breslau Academy. Marg once took an Eheferien, German for a vacation from marriage and went to Paris to finish some of her works in 1928, as stated in her autobiographical notes. Marg wanted to separate her works from her husband's, but at times they did exhibit their works together. Her earliest exhibitions of art were with other artists like the Novembergruppe in Berlin and with Oskar Schlemmer, a Breslau artist at the Galerie Flechtheim in 1931. Her works were bought by museums throughput Germany, but many of them were later removed and destroyed by the Nazis. One of her sculptures, “The Dancer” was found in ruins during excavation for a new train station in Berlin, along with 10 other works. Her work was a victim of Hitler's campaign against so-called degenerate art. Marg's sculpture is featured at Berlin's Neues Museum in Germany. After her husband's death in 1947, she exhibited her works several times. She traveled to the United States where she was recognized as an artist who pushed the importance of modern art in Germany and throughout the world. In 1950 she met famous sculptor Henry Moore. In 1951, she became a member of the Women's International Art Club in London and received a medal. She continued to work with GEDOK, an organization that helped female artists exhibit their work freely from 1930 to 1970. She was awarded a Groupe 1940 medal in Paris. When she was 70, she gave lectures at Wayne State University in Detroit. By the 1950s her works were being exhibited along with her husband's paintings. She died in Munich, Germany in 1977.
