Question

Wouldn't it be better to say "one of the most..." in the following sentence ? 
He's one of the more colorful artists from that period.

 If not, why's that?

Answer

The answer is quite simple. He isn't one of the most colourful. He's one of the more colourful. It suggests that at the time artists were not very colourful. However, a small group were more colourful than the average. This guy was one of them.
I hope that helps.
