Has painted a famous picture? Famous being a very loose term, up to the QM how to define it.

I will say no, to the extent famous paintings means something you would learn about in an art class, or that your average person would know about.

This is tricky and questions are dwindling, so I will provide some context here.

The answer here is probably "no," he is not famous "for" those three things, but it is well known that he participated in one or more of these three artistic pursuits (if that makes sense). His primary source of fame has not been asked yet.

Edit for clarity: Primary source of fame within the arts.

No.

Also I realized my last summary was technically oversharing as I was asked "Born in Europe before 1907," not just "born before 1907," but with this question it is now correct as below:

1,2: Real human male
3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15: Born after 1922 but before January 1, 1950 somewhere other than Asia or the US, north of the 40th parallel north
4: Not known for contributions to STEM
5: Known largely or primarily for involvement in the arts
6: Writer or visual artist
10: Not primarily known for writing poetry or novels
11: Has an E in their full first name
13: Has not painted a famous picture, to the extent famous picture means something you would learn about in an art class, or that your average person would know about.
14: Is well known as being a photographer, actor, or for being involved in filmmaking, but is not famous "for" those things (i.e., not primary source of fame).

I will answer this if you want me to, but it's already been stated that he was not born in the US so this would only knock off a few immigrants that Wikipedia has listed as American artists. Let me know if you want to get the yes/no for this or if you want to scratch it.

Ah, I see. If you could scratch it, that would be nice.

I will try and find a world list.
