On the artists, I don't see too many objections on this thread, however let me offer a different opinion fwiw. You have: 87. Pablo Picasso 88. Henri Matisse 89. Piet Mondrian 90. Wassily Kandinsky 91. Constantin Brancusi 92. Marcel Duchamp 93. Jackson Pollack 94. Willem De Kooning I would say only Picasso and Duchamp belong from this list, and in fact those are the only two I would include in a top 100 - however, if you are going to have 5+ artists, I would add Johns (although I believe you consider Duchamp as the most influential as a pop artists - ok) Imo some art movements simply are not as influential as others... and from this list Mondrian and Matisse, while they defined a movement, how important was the movement? Matisse I realize is popular, but then so is Lichtenstein for largely the same reasons (size and color) so why not include him? The fauves never really transgressed into other movements, or defined a way of life or way of thinking (as pop art did).
