Life

Origin and family

Her father Frederic William Emile Seebold (* 1833 in Lachem , † 1921 in New Orleans) was an art dealer who came to New Orleans around 1861. After military service in the Civil War , he married Lisette, b. Boehm, and opened an art business in New Orleans. The gallery and his house were popular meeting places for visual artists, writers and musicians. Seebold supported many artists and was a founding member of the local art associations Southern Art Union and Artists' Association of New Orleans.

Marie Madeleine Seebold's younger brother Herman Boehm de Bachellé Seebold (1875-1950) was a full-time doctor, but also appeared as an illustrator of magazine articles and author of the publication Old Louisiana Plantation Homes and Family Trees .

In 1915 Marie Madeleine Seebold married her long-time mentor, the painter and restorer Andres Molinary (1847–1915), shortly before he died after a long illness.

Artistic career

Marie Madeleine Seebold started painting at an early age and received her first art lessons at the age of 11. Her teachers were initially Paul Poincy and George David Coulon (1822-1904). She later continued her studies in courses at the Southern Art Union ( Bror Anders Wikstrom (1854-1909), Andres Molinary) and Artists' Association of New Orleans (1887). She studied with William Chase in New York, at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Philadelphia Museum of Art .

Seebold began exhibiting her pictures in the 1880s, initially at the Atlanta Exposition (1881) and the American Exposition (1885/1886). From 1887 she exhibited regularly in her hometown, particularly at the Artists' Association of New Orleans and its successor organization Art Association of New Orleans. She was the second female member of the Artists' Association of New Orleans and was elected to the board of the Art Association of New Orleans in 1931. She sat on the art committee of the World's Columbian Exposition (1893) and the Cotton States and International Exposition (1895).

In addition to painting, Seebold also worked as a restorer of pictures from private collections, a skill she had learned from Molinary. She also ran art classes at the Delgado Museum of Art and gave private lessons.

Seebold was still an artist until five years before her death. She died in 1948 at the age of 82.

There are some contemporary pictures by Seebold, Molinary portrayed them several times, but Paul Poincy also depicted her standing at the easel (1890).
