One of the necessary conditions for a masterpiece in the AI era is uniqueness of each artwork


When you pick up a Picasso catalog raisonné, you'll find that works like "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'' in the museum aren't necessarily masterpieces.

The selection of works in museums is simply because they had the opportunity to acquire them.

Critics and the general public have praised the collection because it is easy to see.

 When I was in New York, gallery shows weren't very interesting.

Instead, I enjoyed going to the Strand bookstore once or twice a day and looking for art books.

Now, every time I open Twitter five or six times a day, I find new images and copy them.

 There is no need to see the original work.

A masterpiece is a work that is copied for seeing the image again and again.

When you start thinking about where and how the joy of viewing comes from, you become a critic.

I have written several blogs about Picasso.

All of the digital image I used for this purpose was found online.

Nowadays, it can be said that digital images are practically work of art.

Better art criticism must be based on the whole artworks which are available as digital image.

The decorative works made by generative AI on the internet have a high degree of perfection. lack unique structure of being only one.

AI produced artworks lack unique structure of being only one.

A second Sagrada Familia cannot be built.

I've read that the problem with David Cole's generator is that it produces too many good Bach.

A masterpiece must have a unique structure.

This time, I will show you two models to help identifying the characteristics of unique works.

 The painting by Juan Gris that I have been analyzing recently, #537

 has outstanding characteristics.

Though there are more than 600 works in Gris's Spanish art book,

it stands out so you can easily find it.

Let's take two of the models.

 

Juan Gris "#537"



whole circle-arc model



The reason why it attracts attention is the seven arcs are coming out of the center of the picture.


There is another model for checking the uniqueness: the string model.
As I have already written several blogs about the model, I pick up one.
The left side is "Pink Nude", and the right is one of the studies.



In order to invent novel, high-quality pictures,

 it is first necessary to know how much invention has been made in the past. 

It is impossible to create new music without knowing the techniques invented by Bach.

 To figure out how to do it, you have to study musical scores. 

Since there was no equivalent to musical scores in plastic arts, artistic production after modern art tapered off. 

So, founding shape-grammar is essential to start.

Classifying the whole artworks comes the second.

Then masterpieces should show how uniqueness is created intentionally.

Geometrical quantification of taste judgment in the case of Harunobu

Image
     Koryusai on the left  Harunobu on the right I found a work that imitate Harunobu's "Gojorei" by Koryusai, who is said to be a follower of Harunobu.   It is well known  that it is based on Harunobu's work [Gojounorei] . It can be imagined that the kimono figure on the left was brought from somewhere and synthesized without changing the kimono figure on the right. Musically speaking, the right and left kimonos are not made with the same scale. It will be clear if I make arc model. As all the parts are not made at the same time, Koryusai could not adjust the harmony  and balance. Early ukiyo-e painters shared patterns and  drew similar pictures. Harunobu's artistry lies in how well it is structured. All the curved lines are arcs  and the circles of the arcs are limited. the largest and the second largest circles make basic structure.                   Harunobu [Gojourei]  ...

An AI robot with no artistic appreciation ability can mechanically select works that are harmonious and balanced.

  My daily image search for Matisse's drawings reveals that  there is a mixture of casually drawn pieces and well-balanced pieces, but they are easily distinguishable with taste judgement. The latter type is often lithograph. Recently I found something a little unfamiliar.      Henri Matisse, Plate 153. Florilège des Amours de Ronsard, 1948 At first glance, their hairstyles are almost same and they are facing right but they are different in size. The two shapes are just barely on the right,  so it looks like Matisse is trying for best one profile, but if you look closely, it's a pretty well-balanced composition. I can guess that this to be carefully crafted.   Harmony can be achieved by using only arcs of a limited number of circles, and balance can be adjusted by bundling those circles together.  Only a limited number of artists who know about this technique are already using it.  Conversely, an AI robot without artistic appreciat...

Picasso "Female Nude with Arms Raised"　1907 in the Sainsbury Collection ; more interesting than Les Demoiselles D’Avignon

Image
In the previous blog "Cézanne, Seurat and Beardsley arrived at the same technique", I wrote two conditions of modern art from the level of formalism: Constructing with only arcs of a few circles of different sizes creates harmony. Then the circles can be used to create a balanced structure. 　    Picasso “Female Nude with Arms Raised” 　 1907 in the Sainsbury Collection    Picasso “Female Nude with Arms Raised” 　 arc-circle model According to the explanation of the museum that owns this work, it is a study for Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, But if you look at the work itself 、 this painting is more complete. Comments without a structural model don't make much sense.  The model reminds me of Seurat's "Study of Model".    Seurat "Study of the Model"    Seurat "Study of the Model" arc-circle model.
