Summary
"Mahler on the Couch" is a 2010 German film
directed by Percy Adlon and Felix Adlon. The film is a historical drama about
love between Alma Mahler and Walter Gropius, and the subsequent psychoanalysis
for Alma's husband, Gustav Mahler by Sigmund Freud.
Alma Mahler
Alma Mahler (Alma Schindler) was an Austrian composer,
writer, editor and socialite, born on 31 August 1879 and died on 11 December
1964. Musically active since her early years, she composed about 50 songs for
voice and piano, of which only 17 songsare known to survive. In her early
years, she had an affair with composer and conductor Alexander von Zemlinsky,
but their relationship did not last long. She became the wife of composer
Gustav Mahler, who was not interested in her compositions, and eventually fell
into depression as she was artistically suppressed. While her marriage was
struggling, she fell in love with Walter Gropius. Gustav began to encourage
Alma's works and helped prepare some of her works for publication, but died
shortly after attempting reconciliation in 1911. Then, Alma married Gropius in
1915, and they had a daughter, Manon Gropius.

I had 15th live broadcast of “Pops
Lounge” yesterday in TBN Ulsan Traffic Broadcasting Network’s “Studio1041”. The
topic of yesterday's broadcast was “New wave music", a genre of
popular music which were popular in America in the 1970s.
I uploaded content of yesterday's
broadcast on YouTube, and please enjoy the below link.
Founded in 1885, the Detroit
Institute of Arts was originally located on Jefferson Avenue, but moved to its
current location on Woodward Avenue in 1927 as its collection rapidly expanded.
The Beaux-Arts building, designed by Paul Philippe Cret, was immediately called
the “temple of art.” Two wings were added in the 1960s and 1970s, and a major
renovation and expansion work began in 1999 and was completed in 2007.
The museum has over 658,000 square
feet, including more than 100 galleries, a 1,150-seat auditorium, a 380-seat
lecture/recital hall, an art reference library, and a state-of-the-art art
conservation lab.
With more than 65,000 works, the
Detroit Institute of Arts is among the top six in the United States by its
collection size. William Valentiner, director from 1924 to 1945, acquired many
important works that framed the present collection. Among his notable
acquisitions are Mexican artist Diego Rivera's “Detroit Industry” fresco mural,
which Rivera regarded as his most successful work, and Vincent van Gogh’s
“Self-Portrait”, the first Van Gogh painting to enter a U. S. Museum
collection.
A hallmark of the Detroit Institute
of Arts is the diversity of its collection. In addition to outstanding
American, European, Modern and Contemporary, and Graphic art, the museum holds
important works of African, Asian, Native American, Oceanian, Islamic and
Ancient art.
The works of Modigliani currently
in the possession of the Detroit Institute of Arts are as follows.
