The first time. Innovations in art

Time and again, individual artists have taken that first, ingenious step, pointing art in new directions. Giotto, van Eyck, Dürer, Titian, Monet, Kandinsky, Pollock, Baselitz and many others developed new motifs, new techniques and new viewpoints, and in the course of evolving their innovative oeuvres, also changed the way we view the world.
