>Arguably the most expressive representation of Mahler’s head was Auguste Rodin’s. It shows an extreme example of brachycephalism, an anatomical feature generally not apparent in photographs, whether full-face or profile, as the shape of the skull is concealed by the luxuriant growth of black hair. But it is clear from the few snapshots that show him with short hair that he had virtually no exterior occipital protuberance, a peculiarity even more evident in the famous caricatures of Mahler produced in New York by Enrico Caruso, not only the greatest tenor of his day but also an accomplished draughtsman.
