Connections with other artists

Teacher of This field mentions the names of pupils. What is at issue are the pupils who were significantly influenced by a teacher as opposed to every student someone ever had. See also the 'Education' field.: Mahler, Anna
Influenced by In contrast with ‘follower of’, we speak of ‘influenced by’ when an artist was influenced outside the context of an educational setting or servile following. An artist can be influenced by several artists at once, or in succession. In addition, there may be question of a transition to a personal style which may demonstrate development.: Böcklin, Arnold
Klinger, Max
Stuck, Franz von
Influence on This field specifies the artists influenced by the artist in question, without there being question of an educational setting or servile following.: Ault, George Copeland
Capacci, Bruno
Chevalier, Peter
