I've got more great Fantasia stuff coming up and I promise I'll come back to it. But the art deco quality of the conceptual art has inspired me to cast around the collection to pull out other classic sources of mythological imagery.
Georges Barbier, one of my top favorite Art Deco illustrators, is identified primarily with fashion of the 1920s. But my top favorite images of his relate to ancient and mythological themes.
I am posting these images with a non-profit and educational 'fair use' motive, regarding respective copyrights. Anyone downloading and using these images for any commercial use would be in violation of respective copyrights, and does not have my approval for such use.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

There is a lot of Barbier's images on the web but I don't know any book about his work...
There is a beautiful book, currently available, entitled:
George Barbier—The birth of Art Deco
