The Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German Art) was built on the orders of Adolf Hitler to replace the Crystal Palace Gallery which had been destroyed by fire. It was built under the direction of Professor Troost (a painting of him appears in this exhibition catalog - shown below) who died before it was finished. It was completed by his widow Gerdie Troost with the help of her associate professor Leonhard Gall in 1937. Each year the work of German artists from Germany and abroad was showcased at the House of German Art.
This is the full exhibition catalog for the Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung (Greater German Art Exhibition) held from 18 July - October 1937 at the House of German Art in central München (Munich), Germany.
The 186-page, 5-7/8 x 8-1/4 inch heavily illustrated softcover book begins with a full-page Hitler portrait, a picture of the House of German Art and multi-color floor plans of the Haus der Deutschen Kunst, followed by a written overview of the building and a directory of each of the artists and the works being exhibited.
The next 72 pages are reproductions of the principal works of the exhibition (busts of top Nazis, nudes, heroic sculptures, landscapes, etc.) one to a page.
