Silly comment I have to make: I am travelling right now, and thus haven't really been paying attention to 20Q. But, I saw an old friend today whom I hadn't seen in many years, and he just casually dropped a reference to Pāṇini in conversation...

The only Pāṇini I'd ever heard of before the game was the sandwich.

If no to after 1920, but yes to visual arts, free guess: Chang Dai-chien (Zhang Daqian)

Actually, a mathematician. He was telling me about a course he and his wife (a classicist) team-taught on ancient mathematical history. They discussed Pāṇini's linguistical contributions from a mathematical perspective.

I'm just going to scratch this question, because I can't find a definition that I like. This means the free guess is scratched as well.
