Bit more of a pioneering thing. The "Seinfeld is unfunny" sort of thing, where something is so groundbreaking that it just gets widely adopted going forward and then isn't always seen in a pioneering light by casual observers. We live in a blessed time for artistic styles, in that incredible amounts of human history and creativity are at our fingertips to experiment with, combine, refine, and distort. We owe that rich artistic heritage we enjoy to innovators like Frida Kahlo. (edit: swapped the last letters initially lmao)
