Influence is everywhere. It is in the subtle movement of the seasons, or the brush strokes of a revered artist. Influence can be found in political philosophy or disaster, or within the bounds of
​​​​​​​an artistic movement.

For every artist, influence is part of what shapes not only the work but also the mind. To be an artist means to throw yourself open to the endless, swirling influences from every corner
of the universe.
