Josef Thorak (b 7 February 1889 at Salzburg, Austria; d 26 February 1952 at Hartmannsberg, Germany) was an Austrian-German sculptor, and, along with Arno Breker, one of the two "official sculptors" of the Third Reich.
In his government-issued studio outside Munich, Thorak worked on his statues, some of which were 65 feet tall.
Because of his preference for muscular neo-classical nude sculpture, he was known among some as "Professor Thorax". Some expressionist influences can be noticed in his neoclassical style.
