Art propaganda took several forms...

Sculpture;

Sculptures were mire immediately accessible to people through the fact many had been placed inform of public buildings. And by 1934 it was decreed that all new public buildings should be embellished by statues which conveyed the Nazi message. Many showed the typical stereotype of the Nazi race and virtues with the ‘perfect’ exterior. A series of sculptures were of muscled men parading; these were in-front of Nazi buildings to reflect on the biologically pure, vigorous Aryan race.

Hitler’s favourite sculptures were Arno Breker and Josef Thorsk and so were given great studios to produce masses of heroic German figures with dominating animals attached, such as the eagle.   
the eagle representing power, protection and
domination. 

muscle man, represent strong perfection of the master race!


statues were placed outside of public
buildings so people saw them a lot.
