Influence and Legacy
In his book Great Cartoonists and Their Art, political cartoonist Art Wood wrote:
His style was distinctive and influenced such diverse artisans as Walt Disney, Russell Patterson, Don Flowers and Walt Scott in this country. His drawings also influenced Antonio Arias Bernal, one of Mexico’s leading caricaturists. He had a gift for color, and his vivid poster-like paintings decorated children's rooms around the world.... While Grant’s work was imitated, it was never emulated.Read more about this topic: Vernon Simeon Plemion Grant
Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or legacy:
“They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
—Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
