Marlow Moss was a British Constructivist artist and an important early figure in abstract art. Originally born as Marjorie Jewel moss, she adopted the name “Marlow” along with an androgynous appearance in 1919. After moving to Paris, she became closely connected with the Abstraction-Création movement and collaborated with the influential artist Piet Mondrian. Moss became recognised for developing the distinctive ‘double line’ in her paintings, which later influenced Mondrian’s own artistic style. Her work explored ideas of space, light, and movement using geometric grids and strong primary colours, aiming to create a sense of balance and universal order; she drew from science and maths to demonstrate total abstraction as the ultimate art form for an increasingly fast-paced technologically advanced society. Her reputation has grown significantly in recent years, with many recognising her as a pioneering figure who challenged boundaries in both modern art and personal identity.
