David Galenson's theory suggests that individuals have different approaches to creativity, with some being "conceptual" innovators who do their best work at a young age (such as Pablo Picasso) and others being "experimental" innovators who do their best work later in life through trial-and-error experimentation (such as Jackson Pollock).
