What makes a great orienteering artist?

I came across a set of characteristics of great artists. I thought it'd be interesting to apply to orienteers. Are there some "great orienteers" who match this list?

They are excellent craftsmen.

They are innovators - they do something that no one has done before.

They are "on trend," as he puts it - their innovations are perceived to be of value; people buy their stuff; they aren't tragic and misunderstood, appreciated for their innovations after they're dead.

They are influential - others begin to do what they started.

The list is from Tim Ryan, president of the CIA (i.e the Culinary Institute of America) and is quoted in a book by Michael Ruhlman.
