About the statues

The Arts of War consists of two statue groups, Valor and Sacrifice. Both are in a style of Art Deco known as "Delayed Deco". Facing Arlington Memorial Bridge from the District of Columbia, Valor is on the left and Sacrifice is on the right. Valor consists of a bearded, muscular male nude symbolic of Mars, the ancient Roman god of war. To his left is a semi-nude female striding forward, a shield attached to her left, trailing forearm. Sacrifice shows the same figures, but in different poses. The nude male now holds a small child in his arms, his head bowed. The semi-nude female is to his right, her back to him and the horse. But her head is turned backward to look at the rider, her right arm reaching up to touch his right elbow.

The Arts of Peace (also known as The Peaceful Arts) consists of two statue groups, Music and Harvest and Aspiration and Literature. Both are in the Neoclassical style, although they also exhibit elements of Art Moderne. Facing Rock Creek Parkway from the Lincoln Memorial traffic circle, Aspiration and Literature is on the left and Music and Harvest is on the right. Pegasus, the mythological source of inspiration and poetry, is the centerpiece of both statue groups. Aspiration and Literature consists of a nude male on Pegasus' right with a toga over his left shoulder and an open book in his trailing right hand (symbolic of literature), and  on Pegasus' left a nude male (both shoulders draped with a toga) aiming a bow backward (symbolic of aspiration). A serpent trails behind the personification of literature, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. Music and Harvest consists of a nude male on Pegasus' right holding a sickle and carrying a sheaf of cut wheat over his shoulder (symbolic of harvest), and a semi-nude female on Pegasus' left holding a harp in her trailing left hand (symbolic of music). Behind the woman is a turtle, symbol
