Connections with other artists

Pupil of This field mentions the names of teachers or masters. What is at issue are the teachers who made a significant contribution to the development of a students, as opposed to every instructor they ever had. See also the 'Education' field.: Bourdelle, Antoine
Mashkov, Ilija Ivanovich
Yuon, Konstantin Fedorovich
(Saur 1992-)
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.: Rodin, Auguste
Bourdelle, Antoine

Milner 1993
