Works
[edit]Painting was the main media of Gerda Schmidt-Panknin. She preferred to combine oil or acrylic painting with other techniques like crayon. In the paintings of the 1960s to the 1980s she mixed sand and other materials into the paint. Since the 1950s and her first travels to Greece these travel experiences (later to USSR, Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland) were the main inspiration for her work.[2]
Influence
[edit]Due to her practice as art teacher, Schmidt-Panknin influenced many younger artists like Peter Nagel or Nicolaus Schmidt.
