!!!Moll, Carl

b. Vienna, April 23, 1861, 
d. Vienna, April 13, 1945 (suicide), painter of landscapes, 
interiors and still life. Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in 
Vienna with C.  Griepenkerl, student and friend of E. J.  
Schindler, whose wife he married after S.'s death (which made him 
stepfather of Alma  Mahler-Werfel). In 1897 co-founder of the Vienna  
Secession, which he left in 1905 together with the Klimt group. 
Supported the Klimt group until 1912 as art director of the gallery  
Miethke in Vienna, organised several exhibitions for foreign artists 
in Vienna and subsequently devoted himself to painting. During this 
period he created chromolithographs and coloured woodcuts of large 
format. In the 1920s he travelled to Italy and the South of France. In 
his later landscape paintings he overcame the two-dimensional style of 
the Secessionists to create works of an expressive, illuminated 
three-dimensional character.
