Is there a word for a style of art that is a great example of its own style? And a word that can be applied to its artist? [duplicate]

Question

I was mainly thinking about musical artists whose songs have style that is very recognizable as an "artists name" song or as a specific genres song. Not a super pressing question but just something that I am curious about.

Perhaps you're looking for quintessential (adj).

Defined by Collins:

Quintessential means representing a perfect or typical example of something. [formal]
Everybody thinks of him as the quintessential New Yorker.

There is also archetypal:

Defined by Collins

For example,

Picasso is the iconic example of the Cubist movement in 20th century art.

For example,

Banksy represents the greatest global artist of the new millennium, an exemplary case of popularity for a living author
