If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means. - Jackson Pollock
If you ask art historians who the greatest visual artists of all time are, there would be a multitude of different names. Of course, there are several standards by which you can measure who the best artists of all time are.

There are several factors that would determine if a particular artist makes the list. One of them is the trend and fashion of the moment that the artist lived, another is the longevity of an artist's popularity. The impact made by an artist on his contemporaries is yet another factor to consider. In the long run, determining who the greatest artists of all time are may be a subjective opinion.
