For sources, I relied upon Einstein as Myth and Muse, by Alan J. Friedman and Carol C. Donley, and Albert Einstein, Historical and Cultural Perspectives, edited by Gerald Holton and Yehuda Elkana. Also, thanks to Aaron Barth of the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard and to the anonymous Slate reader who pointed out in "The Fray" that the innovations of Picasso and others predated Einstein's celebrity.
