Tom Lehrer's tribute to Alma Mahler-Gropius-Werfel is magical. Absolutely worth the 4 minutes to listen to a woman who seduced most of the most creative men in the German-speaking world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L35IiVHZBTk&t=13s

Some decades I typed a doctoral thesis of this Kokoschka doll obsession. 300 pages of insanity. And now I'm living just a few hundred meters from Kokoschka's home in Dresden. He was a maniac.

There's also this interesting story about him as arts teacher in an experimental Viennese school, led by a Jewish woman.
