Every generation produces a number of genius artists. Some showcase their genius and
creative ideas through their work. Others choose to nurture other talents. In the contemporary tech world, being noticed as an artist is much easier, but things were tough in the old days. It's quite strange to notice that on the lists of the best artists of all time, an insignificant number, if any, of existing artists make it to the list. The ranking may vary depending on various factors and different publishers, but here is a list of the top 10 visual artists of all time.
