Alma Mahler
Alma Schindler Mahler was a force to reckon with. Her appearance was more
fascinating than classical; she had fiery eyes and a vibrant presence that
many men found irresistible.

straight lines angled against one another to make the impossible occur. Doing a lot with a little is
our goal.
