Tag der Deutschen Kunst München 1937 16.-18. Juli
- Date

- 1937
- Summary
-
- The new German art, on the other hand, an art of "blood and honor," received the lavish support, and close control, of the government whose ideals it glorified. Its artists, whose names are as forgotten as their works in the sweep of art history, presented images of a fit and healthy German people. Their themes were racial purity, strength, and "family values," and their works filled the 1937 "Great German Art" exhibition held in a massive new "Temple of German Art" built by Hitler in Munich, the birthplace of National Socialism.
- The logo of that exhibition of "Great German Art," designed by Richard Klein, is reproduced on Card 208, the official postcard announcing a special "Day of German Art" conference held in conjunction with the Munich exhibition.
