Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint was a painter making abstract art years before men like Kandinsky and she was exploring automatic drawing long before the surrealists. She knew she was well ahead of her time, which is why she stipulated in her will, that many of her greatest works were not to be displayed until 20 years after her death.

Jack Kirby
Jack Kirby created some of the biggest names in the golden age of comics including: Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk. He basically populated the Marvel Universe. In 1970 though he felt like he wasn't getting the credit he deserved there and left Marvel for DC. There he created a series, Fourth World which I imagine he thought would demonstrate his brilliance and make Marvel wish they hadn’t blown it with him. The series was a commercial flop so maybe not the great “I told you so” he likely envisioned as he left Marvel for their rival, but some of the New Gods from the series live on in the DC Universe.

Janet Sobel
When you think of bold and revolutionary modern artists from the 20th century, you probably don't think of a grandmother laying across her living room floor painting, but maybe you should. Janet Sobel was a Ukrainian American painter who was dripping paint across the canvas long before Jackson Pollock "invented" the technique.

Wolfgang Beltracchi | The Art of Forgery
Wolfgang Beltracchi, born Wolfgang Fischer in 1951, is considered one of the most skilled art forgers in history. He meticulously crafted fake paintings by adopting the styles and techniques of famous artists. Rather than simply copying, he immersed himself in the artist's world, studying their letters and visiting their inspirational landscapes. With a deep understanding of the artist, he created pieces missing from their body of work. Beltracchi also forged supporting documentation, including photographs and gallery notes, to establish provenance. His forgeries were so convincing that many were sold as authentic works. However, his scheme unraveled when a painting attributed to Heinrink Campendonk was discovered to contain titanium white, a pigment not available during Campendonk's time. Despite being convicted for just over a dozen forgeries, Beltracchi hinted at creating hundreds more.
