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.: Gris, Juan
Mondriaan, Piet
Picasso, Pablo
Matisse, Henri
