The painter and graphic artist Max Beckmann (1884 – 1950) is considered one of the most important German artists in the first half of the 20th century. However, the circle of his students is almost unknown. Although Beckmann taught a master class at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main for several years – from 1925 to 1933, there is no "Beckmann School." In 1933, Beckmann was dismissed from his teaching position by the National Socialists – his circle of students dissolved before a significantly Beckmann-influenced "school" could develop from the class.

The exhibition sheds light on the artistic development of Theo Garve, Georg Heck, Walter Hergenhahn, Inge Hergenhahn-Dinand, Leo Maillet, Friedrich Wilhelm Meyer, and Karl Tratt. The exhibition explores the extent to which their artistic development was restricted and their recognition hindered by the circumstances of the time.
