I know I posed the question, and yes, it is a hard one to say “so-n-so is the most influential to me”, etc., but I was looking for some more general discussion anyway, and some insight into artists I don’t know.

A couple people mentioned Chuluhy the glass artist (I could be spelling it wrong, I didn’t copy it down before starting this post). I’m going to check him out, I’ve never heard of him before.

Anyone familiar with Joseph Cornell and his boxes? Really interesting, really original art. Sort of a 3-D compendium of the flotsom & jetsom of 20th century culture, all arranged in odd combinations and juxtapositions but all emerging in strangely beautifully compositions. I think his boxes are, like poems, repositories of marvelous ideas/thoughts/feelings, etc., distilled from the chaos & enthusiasms of a life.
