Gustav Klimt
painter & Alma´s lover
In her diaries, Alma describes her three principal love-affairs
- with Klimt,
Zemlinsky and Mahler - in meticulous detail. Strangely enough,
almost every episode of the Klimt saga is recounted weeks
later. The explanationcan be found in her Autobiography:
"Here our love was cruelly destroyed by my mother. She
broke her word of honour, read the stammerings I wrote down
in my diary and hence knew all about my love-affair. And—horror
of horrors—she read that Klimt had kissed me!"
