The Scandalous Muse of Vienna: Alma Mahler
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
This week, Stauney and Sadie delve into the life of Alma Mahler—composer, muse, and one of the most controversial women of early 20th-century Vienna. We explore how her relationships with towering figures like Gustav Mahler, Oskar Kokoschka, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel intertwined art, love, and obsession in ways that shaped her creative identity and public legacy. Beyond her reputation as a muse to geniuses, Alma’s own musical compositions reveal a woman striving to define herself within the confines of a male-dominated world.
