ARNO BREKER (July 19, 1900 – February 13, 1991) in front of a version of his famous relief Apollo and Daphne. The most significant neo-classic sculptor of the 20th century, Breker placed the image of man in the center of his creative work. Like his patron Adolf Hitler, who named him “official state sculptor” and gave him a large property, studio and many assistants, Breker thought in historical dimensions. After the war, the Allies destroyed over 90% of his public works. (source)

Breker | Alexander the Great 

Arno Breker, nicknamed “Hitler’s Michelangelo,” was a 20th century sculptor, most known for his public works in (and commissioned by) Nazi Germany. The neoclassical tendencies and themes of his works exemplified Nazi ideals, which warranted his title of “official state sculptor” of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1942.
