Max Beckmann's beach painting in the exhibition, 1937

In a corner of the fourth room, visitors in hats and a young man in shorts look at a wall of expressionist portraits beside a large canvas of angular bathers, women in striped swimsuits sprawling and stretching on the sand under a beach umbrella; the camera moves closer until the painting, Max Beckmann's Der Strand, fills the view. Beckmann had lost his teaching post in Frankfurt in 1933; on the day the exhibition opened he left Germany for good.
