By Nazi standards, fine art was not propaganda. Its purpose was to create ideals, for eternity.This produced a call for heroic and romantic art, which reflected the ideal rather than the realistic.Explicitly political paintings were very rare.Still more rare were anti-Semitic paintings, because the art was supposed to be on a higher plane.Nevertheless, selected themes, common in propaganda, were the most common topics of art.

Sculpture was used as an expression of Nazi racial theories.The most common image was of the nude male, expressing the ideal of the Aryan race.At theParis Exposition of 1937,Josef Thorak'sComradeshipstood outside the German pavilion, depicting two enormous nude males, clasping hands and standing defiantly side by side, in a pose of defense and racial camaraderie.

Landscape paintingfeatured mostly heavily in the Greater German Art exhibition,in accordance with themes ofblood and soil.Peasants were also popular images, reflecting a simple life in harmony with nature,frequently with large families.With the advent of war, war art came to be a significant though still not predominating proportion.

The continuing of the German Art Exhibition throughout the war was put forth as a manifestation of German's culture.
