The Art of the German Empire (German: Die Kunst im Deutschen Reich; before September 1939[3] titled The Art of the Third Reich, German: Die Kunst im Dritten Reich) was a state-published[4] art magazine in Nazi Germany, and the country's biggest art publication.[5] It began publication in January 1937 and was published monthly until September 1944; occasionally in double issues.

The magazine was very strict and selective in what it featured, and extremely few of its arist were women.[6] Exhibits at the Great German Art Exhibition amounted for approximately one third of the magazine's illustrations.[7][8] In 1939, its circulation was 50,000 copies.[2]
