Carl Marr was born at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of the engraver John Marr (1831–1921) and his wife Bertha Bodenstein Marr (1836–1911).
Carl Marr was educated in German and English Academy, Milwaukee, and at academics of Fine Arts at Weimar, Berlin and Munich. He received a Doctor of Literature degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1929. He was a pupil of Henry Vianden in Milwaukee, of Martin Schauß in Weimar, of Karl Gussow in Berlin, and subsequently of Otto Seitz at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
One of Carl Marr's pictures, Episode of 1813, was (as of 1911) in the Royal Hanover Gallery. A large canvas, The Flagellants, painted in 1889, is now in the collection of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, in West Bend,Wisconsin, on permanent loan from the City of Milwaukee.
In 1917, Marr was appointed a privy councilor to the Bavarian government. He was forced to flee to Switzerland during the Bavarian Council Republic, which put a price on his head because of this political connection.
In 1919, Marr became the director of the Royal Academy in Munich, where he continued to work until his retirement in 1923.
Carl Marr was listed as a notable artist, educator by Marquis Who's Who.
