September 11, 2016 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm #1180386golferParticipantPicasso?
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?

September 19, 2016 10:00 am at 10:00 am #1180390B1g B0yParticipantIf Einstein was such a genius then how come he kept putting his finger into an electric socket?
September 20, 2016 4:18 pm at 4:18 pm #1180391Yserbius123ParticipantJackson 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.
