Organized January, 1914, to assist American students of the fine arts in Munich. Membership is composed of students; those interested in art are associate members. An exhibition of the work by members was announced for March, 1914, at Brakl's Gallery.[3]
Most members fled Germany as the onset of war loomed and the USA's involvement became more certain. Many of the original founding members ended up in Chicago affiliated with the Art Institute of Chicago and exhibited together frequently.
Members E. Martin Hennings, Walter Ufer and Victor Higgins went on to become early members of the Taos Society of Artists.
