Alma Mahler, Muse to Genius: From Fin-de-siècle Vienna to Hollywood's Heyday"Alma Maria Mahler Gropius Werfel (born Alma Maria Schindler; 31 August 1879? 11 December 1964) was a Viennese-born socialite well known in her youth for her beauty and vivacity. She became the wife, successively, of composer Gustav Mahler, architect Walter Gropius, and novelist Franz Werfel, as well as the consort of several other prominent men. Musically active from her teens, she was the composer of at least seventeen songs for voice and piano. In later years her salon became an important feature of the artistic scene, first in Vienna, then in Los Angeles."--Wikipedia. |
