Biography

[edit]

Marta Arnstem was born in 6 November 1891, in Düsseldorf, Germany.[1][2] Her mother Baronin Erna von Armin was Spanish, and her father Erick H. Arnstem was Swedish and worked as a diplomat.[1] She had immigrated to Massachusetts in the United States around 1915.[2]

In 1916, she married, Edward Brinley Adams in Boston.[1][3] Her spouse was a Harvard University law librarian, and he died of a stroke in 1922.[3]

In the winter of 1925, Adams apprenticed with sculptor Hans Stangl in Munich.[2] She remained in Munich until 1933, and socialized with Otto Nückel, and Karl Zerbe.[2] In 1935, she visited Mexico for the first time.[2] She met with Diego Rivera in 1937, who encouraged her oil painting.[1][2] Adams moved to Mexico City in 1952.[2] Her later work was influenced by pre-Columbian art.[1] She made Archaic Greek-style sculptured busts and portraits.[1]

Adams died on 27 November 1978, in Mexico City.[1]

Her work can be found in museum collections, including at the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[4] Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende (MSSA) in Santiago, Chile,[5] and Harvard Art Museums.[6]
