This list of 50 artists has been chosen due to their contribution to the art world. This is either through the utilisation of new techniques, new subject matter and/or great competence.
The list is of course by no means a complete guide to art, and is only the opinion of Aspect Art Ltd.
Please be aware, that the style of each painter is not always entirely clear. In such circumstances we have chosen a style for the painter based upon their most famous works.
