What one work of art declares the genius of its creator most emphatically?

this would be apart from its impact on you personally, or whether you even like it. Literature, music, visual, anything.

Also, iirc Dali's diary describes how he persuades a woman at a party to let him photograph her butt and then he titles the photograph "I Am A Genius".

On Dali - and I’m glad everything brought him up! - when I encountered Christ On The Cross Of St John in person, at the museum in Glasgow, I was completely taken in. I know this isn’t supposed to be about personal experience (seriously, what a scoping statement on a thread about art) but I was just like, this is why he’s good. it’s a thing, to behold.

i think that is the answer.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 17 May 2018 00:27 (seven years ago)

the question is, what single work evinces the highest degree of genius, genius being highly subjective of course.

salt sugar fat, that's where it's at (rip van wanko), Thursday, 17 May 2018 00:27 (seven years ago)

the question is perfectly clear.

"extraordinary intellectual power especially as manifested in creative activity" how is that bullshit

The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri. Dante simultaneously gave birth to Italian literature and wrote its greatest work to date. If this is not a work of genius, the term is meaningless.

not quite as calmly understated and funny but I'll allow it. just knowing it's a real thing in the world makes me breathe a little easier
