Drawing and graphic art have always played a major role in Dresden and are therefore also a key focus of the Leonhardi Museum’s exhibition programme. One of the most important draughtsmen in Dresden was Hans Theo Richter (1902–1969). Initially a pupil of Otto Dix, he became a professor at the HfBK Dresden in 1947. We have exhibited works by his successors in the professorship – such as Gerhard Kettner, Elke Hopfe and Wolfram Adalbert Scheffler – at the Leonhardi Museum, as well as those by key pupils of Richter, including Max Uhlig and Dieter Goltzsche.
