Comment Picasso at the Lapin Agile (Score 1) 337

Steve Martin wrote a fantastic play covering (among other things) the question of art and science. It is called Picasso at the Lapin Agile and it is about a fictional meeting between Picasso and Einstein in a French bar just before each man made his discovery and changed his respective world. In one scene they challenge eachother to a contest to create something beautiful. They each grab a napkin and scribble furiously for a few seconds, then exchange napkins. Picasso looks up and says, "But this is just a formula!" Einstein's response, "Well, so is this."
