First a disclaimer: I am an amateur art historian and art history is subjective. This is my amateur subjective view of the progression of styles. I could have taken many other paths but chose this one!

Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) : As one of the leaders of Impressionism, Monet changed art by focusing on capturing light and atmosphere in his paintings with thick brushstrokes and pure colours adding to their vibrancy.

Willem De Kooning (1904 - 1997): De Kooning built on Matisse's use of colour and introduced even more abstract and gestural techniques, putting him firmly in the abstract expressionist era.

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 - 1988) : Deeply influenced by De Kooning as well as the urban environment, street culture and African art, Basquiat shared De Kooning's energetic, improvisational techniques while tackling contemporary issues such as the information age and racism.
