ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The dancers of the Weimar Berlin era, Anita Berber and Sebastian Droste inspired me to paint this image based on a photograph taken by Atelier Eberth. In June 1922, Anita met the dancer and poet Sebastian Droste during a particularly wild night out at a Berlin casino. It was to be a life-changing encounter. Anita and Sebastian were immediately drawn to one another and convinced they could create something bold, new and shocking.They went on to tour various establishments throughout Europe, marrying in 1923 and separating in 1924. The connection between the two figures is compelling, to consider what drew one to the other and the vision they both shared albeit short-lived.
