Art history linked some early 20th Century avant-garde visual art movementsto contemporary systems of ideas in mathematics and theoretical physics. One ofthe proposed connections is the one that might have existed between Cubism andRelativity, or more precisely, between Picasso and Einstein. The suggestedlinks are similarity (in a weak version) or identity (in a strong version) inmatters of space, time and simultaneity. It is possible, however, that thesesupposed links of Einstein and avant-garde art movements were more the productof the imagination of historians and critics, than the result of connectionsbetween painters and scientists. On the one hand, the visual arts (in contrastto music, as far as we now) were of no interest to Einstein, who, moreover, didnot seem inclined or knowledgeable enough to appreciate advanced forms. On theother hand, Einstein's theories fell outside the artists' ken, let alone theirunderstanding, although there are firm clues pointing to the fact thatrepercussions of those theories in the press and in literary circles could havefired the imagination of some artists.
