Long overshadowed by her colleague Piet Mondrian, Marlow Moss's work receives a timely reassessment in this volume.

Finally receiving the visibility she has been due, the constructivist artist Marlow Moss emerges in this book from the shadow of other great artists from her time. While the work of her friend Piet Mondrian was an important source of inspiration, Moss's own innovations in abstraction have only recently begun to receive proper recognition. Through painting, drawing, and sculpture, the pioneering Constructivist explored her artistic quest for space and the light within it. Because of her Jewish heritage, queer identity, and the destruction of World War II, parts of her oeuvre were lost; nevertheless, her life and works are now comprehensively recounted and reinterpreted by contemporary artists in this monograph. A compelling life story of a queer artist, accompanied by a multifaceted body of work.
