Sculptor Marian Gobius (Haarlem, 1910 - Voorburg, 1994) attended academies in Amsterdam and Paris and worked abroad (England, US). She worked from the 1951s (when she was awarded the Royal Subsidy in England) until her death. She has also worked as a medalist and pen artist and was a student of Jan Bronner. She was part of the artistic working group 'De Nieuwe Ploeg' that was active between 1959 and XNUMX in her hometown of Voorburg. She worked among a group of younger and more experimental sculptors such as Aart van den IJssel, Rudi Rooijackers and Jan Snoeck, but Gobius nevertheless retained her preference for figurative work and the use of traditional materials, such as bronze and stone. She made many resistance monuments and monuments for women's emancipation. Some of her work is included in the collections of the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam.
