Oscar Kokoschka (1886-1980) was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He was born in Austria in 1886. As a young man, he fell in love with Alma Mahler, a much older widow. After three years, Alma decided to end the relationship. Shocked, Kokoschka decides to make a doll exactly like Alma’s to ease her memory of Alma. After the lover was finished, Kokoschka even commissioned Alma’s personal tailor to make clothes for it. After the love doll was made, Kokoschka showed the doll in public. He took his love doll to the opera house in a carriage, basically imitating the days before he broke up with Alma. Kokoschka was asked if she had had sex with the doll, but Kokoschka did not answer. But Kokoschka said: “Alma will have an abortion against her will, and Love Doll will always be silent and obedient.”

as a sex doll inventor, Kokoschka’s love dolls inspired and inspired many, including The father of modern sex dolls – German surrealist Hans Bellmer (1902-1975).
