I've been thinking this over since the question was first asked, and have finally managed to come to some kind of conclusion about what photographers influence me most.
And the answer is - - no.
For me it's still Caravaggio, Rembrant, IC Dahl, Turner, and Weidemann.

Thank you for this link Sandeha. The first workshop that I ever attended was led by Ray Moore and Paul Hill and it completely changed my life. Ray and Paul became very close friends but sadly we lost Ray in 1987. Why did you find my original post interesting?

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.
