    He is probably the best known “modern” artist of the 20th century at least among the politically correct elite (among normal Americans Normal Rockwell is probably better known, but his style was too traditional and his politics and lifestyle too conventional).

    Why is Einstein the default example of a genius?

    Picasso?

    I would have picked Leonardo Da Vinci.

    Or Rembrandt.

    Or like Goq, Van Gogh.

    Anybody else like Claude Monet?

    Or for something really messy and modern, Jackson Pollock?

    Einstein is the default example of a genius because of his hair.

    If Einstein was such a genius then how come he kept putting his finger into an electric socket?

    Jackson Pollack was a hack. Van Gogh was fascinating as he was one of the first artists not to paint realistically but how he saw the world.

    Einstein is held up as a genius because he was near-uncontested in his secular knowledge. He discovered an entire field of physics and science that completely upended everything that preceded it. Werner Heisenberg did the same, but his stuff was more esoteric and less practical so he didn’t get the same attention.

    Jackson Pollock, Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso are not the only three artists ever to have lived.
