very interesting comment...
I would add to this the role of history...and/or historical context -
which you imply by invoking Picasso...
the question becomes: how can an artist build on the past, i.e.
innovate, if s/he doesn't know about it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Does innovation have to be built on the past? Isn't innovation more
defined for its departures from what has gone before rather than
similarities? Other people define what innovative is. I reckon for the
people doing it, it's just what they did.
