The life of an extraordinary artist and intellect: the composer, author and socialite Alma Mahler, whose life spanned one of the most captivating and dramatic periods in history Born into the dying days of the Hapsburg Empire, Alma Mahler was at the epicentre of fin de si\ufffdcle Vienna’s artistic and intellectual circles. A talented composer in her own right, she was open, impulsive, astonishingly creative, irrational, destructive, wild, and curious. Artists, architects, musicians and writers jostled to join her coterie. Gustav Mahler was her first husband; Gustav Klimt her first kiss. Great men would be drawn into Alma’s wake and be indelibly touched by her power and brilliance: from her second husband Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus and modernist architecture, to the Expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka and her last husband, writer Franz Werfel. But her life was inflected by tragedy.<\/p>\n
