Ole didn't Caravaggio kill someone?

I find myself influenced by the treatment of light by these painters, not their attitudes to life.

I'll see your Caravaggio and Rembrandt, Ole, and raise you a Mondriaan and a Moore ...

Firstly Les, to mention Rothko and Mondrian in the same sentence is unusual enough. Secondly, in casting a quick eye across Ray Moore's work in that link I can see how and why you link them, or perhaps how Moore employed the knowledge of both of them.

Piet Mondrian (or previously Mondriaan), Jackson Pollock, and Henry Moore (not to mention Donatello, Rodin, and David Smith) informed my earlier work in sculpture. Mondrian and Moore remain in the template.

John Cage of course! The ideas expressed along with the form he chose to express them in his book "Silence" have had a profound affect on all the arts.
