Life

Emma Elisabeth von Allesch zu Allfest, born as "Emma Elisabeth Täubele", was a long-time fashion journalist, muse of many Austrian poets and long-term lover of Hermann Broch . She was the "uncrowned queen of Café Central " and a model for the figure of "Alpha" in Robert Musil's farce "Vincent and the girlfriend of important men" (1924). E (mm) a von Allesch was “an artist of the moment” in which she lived and loved, but was not perceived as an independent person. In spite of her literary work, she was largely ignored from historiography.

“That Ea von Allesch exercised a wide variety of professions corresponding to the productions of Viennese Modernism during her almost eighty years , that she worked as a columnist for German-language newspapers and magazines in Vienna, Berlin and Prague, and that she discovered graphology in the twenties - which was only to be scientifically recognized by Ludwig Klages at the end of the decade - and was committed to the individual psychology founded by Alfred Adler and experiencing its heyday in Red Vienna , one learns only very casually, if at all. Only painstaking research reveals the versatility and productivity of this woman that remains hidden behind the one-sided tradition as a muse of male art. "
