I agree with Miracle, Roger Dean best represents prog music, but I don't think this is what you are asking. All the masters in any period were progressive for their time, with quite a few of them changing the direction of art.

Salvador Dali
Pablo Picasso
DaVinci (he made the first blueprints for a helicopter for f**ks sake!)
M.C. Escher
Roy Lichtenstein
Andy Worhol

I'm a big fan of the arts, being an artist myself.

At college today we had a short lecture on the history of art. This got me thinking, maybe it's covered, who do you think was/is the most progressive artist?

For me either Jotto or Picaso

Anyone else?
