Biography
Margarete Seeler was born in 1909 in the Schöneberg neighborhood of Berlin, German Empire.[1]
At age 16, she started to study at the United States Schools for Free and Applied Arts (German: Vereinigte Staatsschulen für freie und angewandte Kunst), primarily painting and drawing.[1][4] Her professors included Bruno Paul, and Wilhelm Tank.[4]
She lived in Italy in 1934, for one year, where she took commissioned portrait work.[1] Seeler was able to save enough to travel around the world for the next two years.[1] She was married from 1938 until 1942 to her former professor, silversmith Herbert Zeitner , and together they had two children.[4]
After World War II, Seeler was able to leave East Germany and move to West Germany.[2] In 1958, she moved to the United States,[2][5] to teach at The Putney School. From 1965 to 1985, she taught at the University of Connecticut. Notable students of Seeler include Mariluisa Barz.[6]
Seeler often worked with pewterer Frances Felten, providing the enamel work on the top of her pewter.[5] Seeler's work is included in public museum collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,[4][7] the National Galleries of Scotland,[8] among others.
