FAQ About The Influence of Neo-Classical Sculpture on Modern Art

Can you provide examples of modern works directly influenced by Neo-Classical sculpture?
Modern works such as Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog" series and Marc Quinn's "Alison Lapper Pregnant" reflect influences from Neo-Classical sculpture. Koons' works echo the ideas of form and proportion, though with a playful contemporary twist and different materials. Quinn's sculpture, exhibited in Trafalgar Square, challenges traditional ideals by displaying a contemporary figure reminiscent of classical forms.
