There are also many pages with art from the 1940 Greater German Art Exhibition in the House of German Art in Munich, including the Paul Mathias Padua painting of a family listening to Hitler on their Nazi people's radio, the Udo Wendel painting called "The Art Magazine" (people reading their issue of Die Kunst im deutschen Reich), Mrs. Bormann as painted by Wilhelm Pitthan, farmers and horses, nude ladies, etc.

This is a fine, complete example of the Nazi art magazine Die Kunst im deutschen Reich ("The Arts in the German Reich"), the August/September 1940 Ausgabe B issue as produced by the Zentralverlag der NSDAP, the Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, Franz Eher of Munich.

This is an Ausgabe B example, meaning the magazine also contains the Die Baukunst section featuring articles on Nazi architecture and architectural drawings of Albert Speer's house and workshop on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden, and the atelier he designed for sculptor Josef Thorak near Munich.

The 30 pages of Die Baukunst that are part of this magazine have pictures and architectural drawings of the huge atelier of sculptor Josef Thorak outside of Munich designed by Albert Speer, as well as Speer's own home and workplace on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden. Designs and photos of several atelier of other artists are also shown as well as the Hermann-Göring-Meisterschule in Kronenburg (Eifel).

Ausgabe A is shown at the bottom of this
USMBOOKS web page (below Ausgabe B).

The magazine was large in size (11 x 14 inch), huge is scope and right to the end (Fall 1944) it was published at the direction of Chancellor Adolf Hitler himself by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger on fine quality paper using the best available inks. It was under the supervision of an extremely prestigious group of directors that included Reichsminister Professor Albert Speer of Berlin, Professor Richard Klein of the Academy of Applied Arts in München and Professor Leonhard Gall of Studio Troost in Munich.

Huge full-page, full-color and black & white photographs dominated the format of Die Kunst im Deutschen Reich. Many of the pictures were never published elsewhere and none were published in a larger format.

This 116-page issue starts with the famous Conrad Hommel painting of Führer und Oberste Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht Adolf Hitler - shown left.

This is followed by an article by Alfred Rosenberg on the destiny of art which is accompanied by illustrations of heroic Arno Breker sculptures, Claus Bergen naval paintings, a Franz Eichhorst painting of a Nazi soldier during the invasion of Poland (below), a bust of Horst Wessel by Fritz Koelle, and the Hermann-Göring-Werke as painted by Franz Gerwin.

The 1940 Greater German Art Exhibition also had a lot of sculptures on display and Ernst Andreas Rauch's eagle is shown in this magazine, as well as busts and nudes by Josef Thorak, Fritz von Graevenitz, Georg Kolbe, Fritz Klimsch, and others. There are also many pages of pen & ink drawings including Luftwaffe airplanes by Erwin Spuler. The art portion ends with a striking Linocut by Georg Sluyterman v. Langeweyde of soldier graves under a huge oak tree.

This 116-page Nazi art magazine ends with 24 pages of striking Third Reich advertising from companies like WMF, Mercedes-Benz, Junkers, Rosenthal, Dresdner Bank, Sager & Woerner, Deutsche Bank, Deutsches Opernhaus Berlin, AEG, and others.
