Name 3 20th Century Humans Whose Creative Entities, Set the Bar So High, No Other Human Can Top It

My choices: Louis Armstrong - no matter how many musicians try including Bird, Louis got there first..........Citizen Kane - people want to topple it with films like The Godfather or Casablanca, but no one has come close to achieving what Orson did......Larry Olivier's Othello....no English speaking actor, and I mean no other English speaking actor, has ever come close to topping his portrayal.......I'll add one more....all theories of Albert Einstein

The Beatles - was the 20th Century benchmark for popular music and still is. Their oeuvre is insane.

Picasso - was the benchmark for fine art and still is. His oeuvre is insane.

(Can't think of a third. Hemingway totally changed writing in the 20th Century, but he hasn't quite stood the test of time the way, say, Dostoyevski did for the 19th Century.)

Wagner never lived in the 20th century. His lifetime was wholly within the 19th century.
