Regarding the secret "formula" that extremely valuable paintings possess...add to that, the artist's style needs to be rather revolutionary, ground-breaking, like Picasso, Pollack, Mondrian, and, believe it or not, Basquiat. His art was actually quite complex and layered with poetry, and many multi-media techniques...primitive, naive, etc. They're actually really compelling in person.

True. Artists such as Constable and Renoir may seem quaint and maudlin today, but they were revolutionary visionaries for their time and influenced art since then, including abstract art.
John Constable's The Hay Wain (1921)
Renoir's Le Moulin de la Galette
