The Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German Art) was built in a park-like setting just northeast of the Feldherrnhalle in downtown München (Munich) on the orders of Adolf Hitler, to replace the Crystal Palace Gallery which had been destroyed by fire in 1931. It was built under the direction of Professor Paul Ludwig Troost who died before it was finished. The building was completed by his young 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 offering is the full exhibition catalog for the Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung (Greater German Art Exhibition) that opened in July 1944 at the House of German Art in central München, Germany. It was the last one of these large exhibitions held during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler.
The 194-page, 6 x 8-1/4 inch heavily illustrated softcover First Edition book begins with a Hoffmann portrait of the Führer followed by a picture and multi-color floorplan of the Haus der Deutschen Kunst. That is followed by a written overview of the building and a directory of each of the artists and the works being exhibited. The next 68 pages are reproductions of the principal works of the exhibition (top Nazis, nudes, heroic sculptures, landscapes, etc.) one to a page.
The last 40 pages are advertising for things like SS Allach, Rodenstock optical company, Rosenthal Porzellan, Bernstein (amber) jewelry, Blaupunkt radios, Dornier, natural health remedies, artist supplies, the Hofbrauhaus and other beer breweries, hotels and cultural festivals.
Some of the artists featured in the 1944 catalog are Arno Breker, Sepp Hilz, Kurt Schmid-Ehmen, Conrad Hommel, Wilhelm Dachauer, Julius Paul Junghanns, Richard Klein, Josef Thorak, Fritz Klimsch, Pieper, Padua, Müller, Miller, Kaspar, Kärner, Goebel, Kriegel, Türke, Waldschmidt, Lamprecht, Gugg, etc.
This Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung book is complete and in very good used condition. It is the catalog for the last Third Reich exhibition at the House of German Art and because of Allied bombing of München, few people attended the exhibition and few catalogs were sold.
