Artists

Art includes Fiction, Poetry, Music, Film, Painting, and the others arts.

Conservatives are more prone to respect tradition and rules – whereas the radicals are more inclined to push the boundaries of the art and to invent new kinds of expression.

Which artists had both sensibilities? Original artists, who also used the great influences of the past.

There is one band I can think of that fits this: From Monument To Masses.

Henry Moore.

His first sculptures were influenced by Michelangelo and were of romantic Victorian style. He studied Bondone, Pisano and other ‘classics’ in Italy and eventually evolved (radically) his style to what we know as his "human figure abstracts" (modernism).

   Carl Jung, David Ogilvy, Willem De Kooning, and Jimmy Page
   were the four names I thought of after the initial involuntary one
   of David Byrne.

   All above were lucky enough to have been in the position of
   and smart enough to know how to tackle taking the oldschool
   preliminaries of structure and applying their astronomical
   brilliance to it, thus supplying "the rest of us" with lifetimes
   of wonder.

   The list must include especially Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick
   as well, because they had virtually nothing to go on
   as far as what had been done before them.

   The exceptional Albert Einstein, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimi Hendrix
   had never been seen or heard, nor since if I might add.

   Claude Hopkins, who ranked of conservatism, yet had radical
   approaches to making millions for his clientele–in the 1920s & 30s!!!

   Too, William Bernbach and Norman Lear for reassembling
   America’s acceptance of being entertained into cultural change.
