Does anyone know of an artist that is/was heavily influenced by Venetian masks?

I know that Pietro Lunghi has but the influence isn't that great, I'm thinking of a more heavy influence like Picasso and African masks.





Thank you!Does anyone know of an artist that is/was heavily influenced by Venetian masks?
James Ensor was fascinated by masks that look sort of Italian


Emil Nolde also





John Bratby (English 20th c painter) did a Venetian series.Does anyone know of an artist that is/was heavily influenced by Venetian masks?
the French artist Antoine Watteau was inspired by the Commedia d'Arte, a theatrical venue connected to the history of Venetian masks
I was going to say James Ensor too.
How about Dario Fo--and as a long shot Julie Taymore
