You tried to link science with literature and arts. You would find negligibe people among such group as the mindsets of these people are totally different.

Do you mean how art has evolved from cave paintings to piles of car tyres etc?

I don't think so. Yes, it was at the times of Leonardo Da vince and others that they were all-rounders to say but the present age specialization has increased.
Just their being creative doesn't signify their being similar as the subjects are different.
