Which Oskar Kokoschka paintings show his relationship with Alma Mahler?

Oskar Kokoschka’s tempestuous three-year relationship with Alma Mahler significantly influenced his artistic output during the early 20th century. Several of his works from this period directly reflect their connection:

• Double Portrait (Oskar Kokoschka and Alma Mahler) (1912): This painting exemplifies the shift in Kokoschka’s style toward broader, more colorful brushstrokes and broken outlines.1
• The Tempest (1914): Also known as Die Windsbraut, this is considered his most important work from this period. It depicts the artist and Mahler resting together in a large cockleshell amidst a swirling, turbulent sea, capturing the intense emotional nature of their bond.12

These paintings highlight Kokoschka’s belief that the artist's emotional involvement with their subject was essential to the creative process.1
