referentes plásticos

Based on my investigation, I've decided to use "artistic referents". I think "referent" is a legitimate option in this case and that the meaning differs slightly from "influence". I appreciate all the suggestions and references.

Personally, I think artistic includes them all - the work of painters, writers, photographers, architects - when using "plásticos" as is the case in Spanish, you refer to painters and sculptors, mainly, so you'd need to add artísticos in order to include photographers, and even architects (not normally referred to as artistas plásticos, as far as I know)

In most of the cases where this comes up, I'd be inclined to use just "referents" or "artistic referents". In the case "referentes plásticos y artísticos", this would mean collapsing the distinction (if there is one!).

I think Ross is right, referentes are the different sources or art works that inspired or influenced them. I think artistic referents could work.

It seems clear from the different contexts in which this is used that by "referentes" the author means the models (artists, movements) that were influencing their works. So I think "referents" is okay.

Los referentes plásticos de estas obras son los artistas que trabajan entorno la revistas Valori Plastici (Chirico, Carrà, Morandi, Savinio, Funi, Severini) y L’Esprit Nouveau (Jeanneret, Ozenfant, Léger, Juan Gris, Le Corbusier, la escuela de la Bauhaus); también las obras de Picasso producidas alrededor de 1926, las fotografías de Moholy-Nagy, Man Ray y las producciones de lo que llaman la “vida moderna”.

In this context, referentes refers to works...
