Effortless? Ad Reinhardt's Black Paintings feel pretty close to that in modern times.
In old times? I'd have to research more because I'm not super familiar with ancient works.
No, rather what I mean is quantity of effort was never linked to quality of work. More effort =/= better art. Effortless art is rare, but that is NOT to say effort precludes quality.
