Anita BRÜGEL-PETRIKAT

Anita Brügel-Petrikat (* June 2, 1920 in Romeyken; † 2000 in Stuttgart) was a German painter from East Prussia. She began her artistic training in 1956 with Beni Grünhaupt and Hans Schreiner before studying at the Stuttgart State Academy of Fine Arts under Manfred Henninger from 1957 to 1961.

Her work, which was often executed in watercolour, oil and pastel, is characterized by an expressive use of colour that dissolves traditional representationalism and transforms landscapes into expressive colour compositions, as the Allgemeine Künstler-Lexikon (Vol. 14, 1996, p. 478) notes: “With landscapes composed out of color […] Brügel-Petrikat detaches herself from representationalism.”

Exhibitions of her work have been held at the following venues, among others:

1967 at Kunsthaus Schaller, Stuttgart
1970 at the Galerie Flohmarkt, Tübingen
1971 at the Greiner Gallery, Stuttgart
1973 at Bauschlott Castle, Neulingen
1975 at the Kulturring, Bad Wurzach
