Samuel Beckett
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Samuel Beckett was a famous Irish artist, a playwright, novelist, and poet, who had a pessimistic nature to his work.
In 2370, Benjamin Sisko referred to Beckett, along with similarly-natured Vincent Van Gogh and Y'Raka, as an example of pessimistic artists who created something of great worth. Contrary to this view, Gideon Seyetik described their works as "dreary, dark and depressing". (DS9: "Second Sight")
