PROPAGANDA: Nasjonal Samling's propaganda posters from 1933 to 1945
PROPAGANDA delves into one of today’s most urgent topics. It depicts the techniques employed by the National Union’s propaganda, and shows how they are still in use in today’s propaganda, which continues to appeal to our emotions while telling us to ignore the facts.
The exhibition shows the development from the interwar election posters to the propaganda of World War 2, from pictures exuding confidence in victory featuring youthful and idealized people, to those at the end of the war with a caricature of Ola Nordmann wearing a red stocking cap pulled down over his ears.
The exhibition introduces the illustrator Harald Damsleth (1906-1971), who led the work on visual propaganda during the war. We see his well-developed form language in a number of posters in the exhibition. After the war, Damsleth was sentenced to 5 years of hard labour, but was pardoned after 2 years. Following his release he would work anonymously as an illustrator for the rest of his life.
The exhibition is supplemented with an educational project for lower and upper secondary school, a film screening of the documentary Propaganda – the Art of Selling Lies, and a lecture with journalist Morten Jentoft.

Thus, while not formally a part of the German Nazi Party, Damsleth’s work is still integral in understanding the paradoxes in National Socialist depictions of African-Americans as well as how artwork was used to promote Nazism outside of Germany.
“Cultural Terrorism” (Kultur-Terror) is a composite monster of nationalities, ideologies, or ethnicities seen as unacceptable in the utopian Nazi fatherland. The amalgamation of negative associations with America include jazz music (the record), crude capitalism (the “Jewish” businessman with a bag of money), naked women, and slavery. Together they form an artificial homunculus whose sole purpose is to destroy European culture, pictured through the American ‘bomb-leg’ destroying European landmarks (Lübeck’s castle is pictured).
Damsleth’s work reflects Nazi attitudes towards both Jim Crow and American racial violence. Ironically, American race relations, accentuated in the monster’s KKK hood and the nooses, were castigated a sy
