There's an amusing part in the play "Picasso at the L'Apine Agile" by
Steve Martin where Picasso and Einstein have a showdown and "draw"
against each other. Pablo draws a portrait, Albert an equation then they
argue about the beauty of each. If I recall they end up dancing together
at some point.

I think the play is out in paperback and might make a good introduction.
