So we're looking for a real, dead, literate male without a postgraduate-level qualification who was born after 31 December 1849 and who was not German, African or Asian. He was neither a famously vegetarian nor famously carnivorous, but lived long enough to have potentially chosen to become a vegetarian.

Was he born in the United States of America?

These assumptions, especially about living long enough to choose, are risky.

I would concentrate on his artistic achievements rather than on looking for new leads.

Also, I'm using the same (very broad) definition of "artist" that was used in game 61.

He was famous for his non-literary artistic achievements, but was not a famous sportsman, and was neither famously vegetarian nor famously carnivorous. He may or may not have died young.
