For example:
Jacques-Louis David
Source: en.wikipedia.orgApart from being an ardent supporter of the French Revolution, he was also a dictator of the arts under the French Republic.He also had a large number of pupils making him the strongest influence in French art in the early 19 Th century
Some of his work :
Le Serment De Horaces

The Painting of Napoleon
Source: http://en.wikipedia.orgHeavily criticized mostly after his death,he was considered to be cold and lacking warmth.He was responsible for many people being sent to the guillotine,personally signing the death warrants of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette .
As you can see he was a pretty influential guy,and also considered to be one of the leading painters in France.Through all his all his criticism he stood his ground,playing out of the rigid styles and dynamically influencing many changes.Many of his students were honoured by the restored Bourbons following the French Revolution.
A valuable lesson to be learned by this famous painter's past is to try to change the rigid thinking we grow in,and never back down when we stumble or fall be it once twice or a million times,but instead to get up and get moving with what we feel is right.
For we think like
Out Of The Box Thinking
