Hvem daterede Oskar Kokoschka?

Oskar Kokoschka (født 1. marts 1886 i Pöchlarn, død 22. februar 1980 i Montreux) var en østrigsk kunstner, digter og ekspressionistisk maler med tjekkiske rødder. Han var især kendt for sine indtrængende, dybdepsykologiske portrætter malt med kraftige temperamentsfulde penselstrøg og tegningen af Karl Kraus. Samme teknik anvendte han i sine landskabs- og byprospekter. Kokoschka blev kendt for sin korte affære med Gustav Mahlers enke, Alma Maria Schindler (Alma Schindler-Mahler), som snart afviste ham, hvorefter han fremstillede en 1:1 dukke af hende. Han måtte kort før 2. verdenskrig flygte til England, og nogle år efter krigen slog han sig ned i Schweiz. Især under den tyske og østrigske genopbygning fik han mange udsmykningsopgaver, bl.a. i Hamborg, gobeliner til Det Store Festspilhus i Salzburg og et portræt af Konrad Adenauer.

Alma Mahler-Werfel (born Alma Margaretha Maria Schindler; 31 August 1879 – 11 December 1964) was an Austrian composer, author, editor, and socialite. Musically active from her early years, she was the composer of nearly fifty songs for voice and piano, and works in other genres as well. 17 songs are known to have survived. At 15, she was mentored by Max Burckhard.

In 1902, she married composer Gustav Mahler, who died in 1911. Between 1911 and 1914 she had a passionate affair with Oskar Kokoschka. In 1915, Alma married Walter Gropius, and they had a daughter, Manon Gropius. Throughout her marriage to Gropius, Alma engaged in an affair with Franz Werfel. Following her separation from Gropius, Alma and Werfel eventually married.

In 1938, after Nazi Germany annexed Austria, Werfel and Alma fled, as it was unsafe for the Jewish Werfel. Eventually the couple settled in Los Angeles. In later years, her salon became part of the artistic scene, first in Vienna, then in Los Angeles and New York.
