The artists of the Komast Group are seen as the successors of the Gorgon Painter.
From Corinth, then still the centre of Greek vase painting, they adopted the Komast cup and the skyphos (known as kotyle.
While the older KX Painter still mostly painted animals and only the occasional komast scene, the komos became a standard motif for the KY painter and further inferior successors.
Works by the Komast Group were not only found in Attica, but appear to have been exported widely.
Vases and fragments have been found at many sites, including Naukratis, Rhodes, Central Italy, Taras, and even Corinth.
