This line was deleted:
Many of his works from this time,were made by others,but he used to say,after pushing his fingers into anothers :work~(but not idea) -"that's a Baskin.
It seems to say that Baskin took credit for his students' work. It is strangely punctuated. I can't tell if Baskin was literally "pushing his fingers into anothers [sic] work" or if this is meant metaphorically. I welcome the author of this line to clarify it and include it. My guess as to its meaning is this:
Many of the works credited to Baskin at this time were actually made by his students. After thoroughly considering a piece he would often remark (without meaning to steal the idea), "That's a Baskin."
I would sure be in favor of leaving all this in the discussion page until it gets cleared up a lot more. I am trying to get together my shots of some Baskins in Washington & Ann Arbor to post - but would hate to do so if his students did them. [joke].

What I'd like to see is some documentation as to what pieces were not Baskin's and what/which students are saying this. The history of art is full of such claims - many of them no doubt [in my mind anyway] with some justification. If a teacher works with students it is not considered a bad thing if the students get ideas and details and whatever from the teacher and don't see why this needs to be a One-Way street.
Carptrash19:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC) {but thanks for bringing me back to my photo pledge] Oh yes, the "That's a Baskin" could mean that Baskin was seeing his influence reflected [copied?] in the student's work.reply
