Reaction to and building on earlier artistic movements, and equally important, reflection of the current cultural environment. IMHO it is those who succeed most in capturing and expressing the central characteristics of the culture currently around them who are ultimately crowned "great artists" with "towering achievements". That's why so much historical perspective is needed.
And that's why Chris from Lafayette's "it's all downhill after WW II" idea doesn't, can't and never will hold water. Maybe the entire human race has slipped downhill since WW II, but yesterday's artists can never convey today's message. They aren't around.
Technical ability is also a major factor (for example, it takes skill to accurately react to earlier artistic movements as well as deep knowledge of what those movements were), but not the only one.
