Abstract
The pyramidal shape is an ancient and universal geometric shape, symbolizing strength, constancy and height. In Egypt, the pyramidal shape is associated with the pharaonic heritage, which reflects the civilization, art and religion of the Egyptian people. In this research, we will examine the aesthetic vision of the pyramidal form in sculpture in Egypt in the modern era, by analyzing the works of some prominent Egyptian sculptors, which express their identity, orientations and human implications.
