Deutsche Plastik unserer Zeit (German Sculpture of Our Time) represents a significant institutional and artistic record, despite missing its technical component. Published in 1942, it remains a core primary source for the study of the Third Reich's aesthetic "New Order." A significant 1942 large-format stereoscopic art archive, Deutsche Plastik unserer Zeit (German Sculpture of Our Time), by Kurt Lothar Tank. Published by the specialized Raumbild-Verlag Otto Schönstein, Munich, the volume serves as a high-end showcase for state-sanctioned monumental art and includes a foreword by Reich Minister Albert Speer. The work documents the "heroic" aesthetic of the period through 135 individual stereoscopic image cards featuring the work of Arno Breker, Josef Thorak, and others. The album is housed in its original heavy-board binding with internal storage compartments. Note: The original metal stereoscopic viewer is missing from this example; however, the photographic card set is complete. Condition: Very Good; the boards show light age-toning and minor shelf wear; the internal stereo-cards remain sharp and well-preserved.
