Perhaps Henri Gaudier-Brzeska's "Hieratic Head of Ezra Pound" said to be heavily influenced by ancient Egyptian sculptures of Rameses II.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ga...her_Dallas.jpg Or a painting by Alan Davie, whose work is inspired by hieroglyphic writing - the first link includes the "ankh" symbol. http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewW... bview=subject http://waterman.co.uk/pages/single/202.html Last edited by Hercules Brabazon : May 28th, 2010 at 02:57 AM. |

Some artists incorporate ancient art into their imagery, notably Carlo Maria Mariani. Salvador Dalí does this as well, especially with references to the Venus de Milo.
