About Petra Waszak
For many years Petra Waszak has been interpreting forms and symbols of art history with a unique sensitivity for her fashionable accessories. With great sensitivity, she combines different stylistic elements and techniques to create a special tension.
The artist has already worked with the most important fashion companies such as Dior, Chanel and Gucci. Her extraordinary creations can be found in the shops of major world museums such as the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London or the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Her creations are worn by many actors, politicians and celebrities, such as Liza Minelli or Angela Merkel.
The German artists‘ association "Der Blaue Reiter" ("The Blue Rider") was founded in 1911 in Munich by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc during the German Expressionist period.
The name was originally the title of a painting by Kandinsky and also the title of the almanac published by Kandinsky and Marc. Members included Paul Klee and August Macke, among others. The group criticised the prevailing art canon as too academic and elitist, demanding more openness and diversity. The artists turned away from realism and began to paint expressively in an increasingly abstract style using strong colours.
The group disbanded at the beginning of World War I.
