Connections with other artists

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.: Doesburg, Theo van

After her husband's death she fought for recognition of his work and abstract art in general

Art movement Here we mention the art movement to which an artist belonged. Many art movements have not yet been entered, because the content of this field is still under development.: De Stijl, Dada
