Visual language: Aphrodite, Muybridge and the Buncefield fire
Two examples of the way we create visual symbols and then come to see them as reality. I've just been in Cyprus for the day job, and managed to see the Cyprus Museum of Archaeology. In here is a 1st Century BC statue of Aphrodite, found at Soloi. It struck me at once that this statue has the same elongated neck found in Botticelli's 'Venus'.
