Oskar Kokoschka


The state of awareness of visions is not one in which we are either remembering or perceiving. It is rather a level of consciousness at which we experience visions within ourselves.

Oscar Kokoschka, On the Nature of Visions

Kokoschka had a life-sized doll made in Alma [Mahler's] image... it was intended to be as perfect a substitute as possible for the person on whom it was based....If Alma remained beyond Kokoschka's reach, her three-dimensional likeness would not be... He left the craftswoman in little doubt about what he intended to do with the doll...'Can the mouth be opened?' he asked, 'And are there teeth and a tongue inside? I hope so.'
