It is common for a woman to have a wide range of relationships with many prominent figures of her time thanks to her outstanding beauty and talent. It's also possible that she will emerge as the protagonist of a century-long masterpiece after shaking the souls of outstanding artists. But what if she had lived with world-class musicians, architects, and writers who dominated her time, not just to the extent that she appeared in some famous paintings? What about through three formal marriages? I don't know how that's possible, but in Vienna, Austria, there was a woman who actually lived that life.

Her name was Alma Mahler. The most representative works she is known to be a real model of art were Gustav Klimt's "Kiss" and Oscar Kokoshka's "The Bride of the Wind." First, let's take a quick look at the famous painting, "The Bride of the Wind." Because her "life like the wind" will never be separated from her "wind."

This work, which is passionately expressed with love as intense as a storm, is considered one of Oscar Kokoshuka's best masterpieces. He was a representative painter of the Austrian Expressionist movement, and he presented his own personal and original style of painting. In this work, known as "The Bride of the Wind" or "The Storm," Kokoshka captures the hot emotion that comes out of his chest through a rough brush touch.

The reason why this painting feels particularly passionate is because the male and female models in the painting were the artist himself and his passionately loved lover, Alma Schindler. Alma Schindler was born the daughter of the famous painter of the time, Emil Jacob Schindler, and was envied by many men for her natural beauty and intelligence. She married Gustav Mahler, one of the greatest composers of her time and an old bachelor in her 40s, and after Mahler's death, she remarried Walter Gropius, the architect of the Bauhaus, and after his separation, she became the wife of writer Franz Werfell. Gustav Klimt was also once in a relationship with this woman.

That's right. Alma Mahler was the daughter of an artist and the wife of a composer, and her job was also a composer. Gustav Mahler, a genius musician who achieved a reputation as a conductor and composer representing the music city of Vienna throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was his first husband.

Her name was Alma Schindler, until the last name of Marler was not followed by her name was Alma Schindler. She was born in 1879 the daughter of Emil Jacob Schindler, a famous painter of the time. Even before she married Marler, she had already been sowing romance with performance director Max Buccart, composer Alexander Chemlinski, and painter Gustav Klimt. Among them, Klimt was known as the man who won Alma Schindler's first kiss, which allowed her to take the honor of appearing as the heroine in Klimt's signature work, "Kiss."

Alma Schindler defies the courtship of Gustav Klimt and several other men and marries Gustav Mahler on March 9, 1902. It was a marriage that overcame the age gap of 19 years. After marriage, she gives up her dream of being a composer and lives as a mother of two daughters, but when her first daughter dies, she falls into extreme depression and falls into a deep relationship with architect Walter Gropius. Mahler knows this and tries to change her mind. Symphony No. 8, also called 'Cheonin Culture,' was written for her around that time.

When Gustav Mahler died in 1911, at the age of only 51, Alma Mahler married architect Walter Gropius for the second time, but after a long pause from his first husband. Another man who was in a relationship with Gropius before remarrying was the genius painter Oscar Kokoshka. This artist is famous for showing a morbid obsession with Alma Mahler for a very long time even after he remarried to an architect.
