I'd think that the most immediate connection between art and science
are the technological tools available to do the job...pigments, sound
generating technology (from piano actions to digital sampling), etc
etc.
There was an ad in the Economist this week which shows on one page the
Libyan Sibyl (or is it sybil?) from the Sistine Chapel, and on the
other page the words: "inspiration, genius, dedication, Carrier Air
Conditioning" the point being that the restoration is made possible by
state of the art climate control...
I am skeptical of the ostensible connections between "relativity" and
the subjectivity of images, or the expansion of the vocabularies of
music and literature, early in this century.
I do intuit, along with the author you describe, some underlying
ethos, but one pictures very different conditions surrounding the
creation of mathematical/experimental models of subatomic physics and
the creation of paintings, sculpture, music, and literature.
