Both Relationships Terminated
Oskar Kokoschka’s tumultuous love life not only led to the end of his relationship with Alma Mahler but also resulted in a strange termination of his relationship with the lifelike doll he had commissioned. Over time, he grew weary of the situation and took drastic action. In a fit of frustration, he decapitated the doll, poured wine over it, and discarded it into the street.
One can only speculate on the complexities of Oskar’s emotional turmoil and the lengths he went to in response to his failed relationships. It is clear that Alma’s decision to marry another man profoundly impacted him, and there is no record of Oskar finding happiness or remarrying in the aftermath of these tumultuous events.
