True genius requires that that new material affect others in a meaningful and new way.

And no two people will be affected in the same way by art, be it music or sculpture or poetry etc. So artistic geniuses are our own personal geniuses.

Geniuses in the world of science are easier to name as they produce something that does have a universal affect. I think.
