I think those artists who earn the title of great, do the best they can, whenever they do. They do not always reach their goals, but they try as best they can, even when experimenting. The Last Supper is a glorious mess, because Leonardo was doing pigment and medium experiments at the expense of the monks. Michelangelo never got the scales and proportions of his figures "right" and invented mannerism. After Bach there was no polyphony or fugue. There was nothing left to do. Who dare write a 10th symphony when Beethoven held himself to 9. Who dare write a symphony at all?
