Abstract

According to author Toby Clark in Art and propaganda, Saliger's paintings, as well as those of other German artists who adopted similar themes, represent "qualities of Aryan superiority . . . [and this] supposedly superior physical beauty was held to be the ultimate evidence of natural supremacy" (67). Clark reveals how art can become propaganda when, in works like Saliger's, arts that "intentionally promoted the concept of Aryan beauty and excluded 'ugliness' and 'impurity' were actively complicit with the practice of excluding and ultimately exterminating non-Aryan people" (68). It is no coincidence that German art during the Third Reich looked so similar. There are at least two other paintings almost identical to Saliger's-Adolf Ziegler's Urteil des Paris (1939), and Georg Friedrich's Das Urteil des Paris (1939), and many more that impel similar themes-idolizing powerful male bodies and slim female bodies.
