To me, the reason one person excels over the multitudes (whether painting or mathematics) is the uniqueness of their brain.
This is difficult to hear. It's difficult to hear because it's not controllable. Technique, formula, ingredient are all controllable items. And so we tend to gravitate towards answers which are controllable.
This is why there are so few masters of any endeavour. There are so few brains so uniquely wired for complete success. Einstein unlocked many secrets, one would suppose that many Einsteins would follow, it just doesn't happen that way.
Many can study the controllables and become proficient, even more can become down right good, but genius quality is the province of a unique mind.
