Evidence
Explicit secondary-source assertion; independent historical verification remains pending.
- Theodore Lux Feiningereditorial inference
Evidence
The biography identifies Josef Albers as a teacher of T. Lux Feininger. Albers, Klee and Kandinsky concern painting study at the Bauhaus; Moholy-Nagy's influence concerns Feininger's photography. Explicit secondary-source assertion; independent historical verification remains pending. Teaching does not by itself establish artistic influence.
- Michael Craig-Martineditorial inference
Evidence
The biography identifies Josef Albers as an artistic influence on Michael Craig-Martin. Albers's influence is indirect through Yale's teaching on colour and form; Katz and Held were tutors on Craig-Martin's course, not necessarily Albers himself. Explicit secondary-source assertion; independent historical verification remains pending.
