How does The Talisman (painting) elucidate its Influence?
The Talisman inspired a series of paintings by the Nabis, following the same principles that Gauguin had expressed to Sérusier. 
Maurice Denis cited the Talisman in his famous 1914 essay, New Theories of Modern Art and on Sacred Art:  "Remember that a painting, before it is a horse in battle, a nude woman or a sort of anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order."
