• Abstract summary: We identify hidden patterns and relationships present in artistic paintings by analysing their complexity. We apply Normalized Compression (NC) and the Block Decomposition Method (BDM) to a dataset of 4,266 paintings from 91 authors. We define a fingerprint that describes critical information regarding the artists' style, their artistic influences, and shared techniques.

• Abstract: The artistic community is increasingly relying on automatic computational analysis for authentication and classification of artistic paintings. In this paper, we identify hidden patterns and relationships present in artistic paintings by analysing their complexity, a measure that quantifies the sum of characteristics of an object. Specifically, we apply Normalized Compression (NC) and the Block Decomposition Method (BDM) to a dataset of 4,266 paintings from 91 authors and examine the potential of these information-based measures as descriptors of artistic paintings. Both measures consistently described the equivalent types of paintings, authors, and artistic movements. Moreover, combining the NC with a measure of the roughness of the paintings creates an efficient stylistic descriptor. Furthermore, by quantifying the local information of each painting, we define a fingerprint that describes critical information regarding the artists' style, their artistic influences, and shared techniques. More fundamentally, this information describes how each author typically composes and distributes the elements across the canvas and, therefore, how their work is perceived. Finally, we demonstrate that regional complexity and two-point height difference correlation function are useful auxiliary features that improve current methodologies in style and author classification of artistic paintings. The whole study is supported by an extensive website (http://panther.web.ua.pt) for fast author characterization and authentication.

  We introduce the Aesthetics Paintings and Drawings dataset (APDD), the first comprehensive collection of paintings encompassing 24 distinct artistic categories and 10 aesthetic attributes. APDDv2 boasts an expanded image corpus and improved annotation quality, featuring detailed language comments. We present an updated version of the Art Assessment Network for Specific Painting Styles, denoted as ArtCLIP. Experimental validation demonstrates the superior performance of this revised model in the realm of aesthetic evaluation, surpassing its predecessor in accuracy and efficacy.

  Artwork analysis is important and fundamental skill for art appreciation, which could enrich personal aesthetic sensibility and facilitate the critical thinking ability. Previous works for automatically analyzing artworks mainly focus on classification, retrieval, and other simple tasks, which is far from the goal of AI. We introduce a superior large multimodal model for painting analysis composing, dubbed GalleryGPT, which is slightly modified and fine-tuned based on LLaVA architecture.

  ArtScore is a metric designed to evaluate the degree to which an image resembles authentic artworks by artists. We employ pre-trained models for photo and artwork generation, resulting in a series of mixed models. This dataset is then employed to train a neural network that learns to estimate quantized artness levels of arbitrary images.

  Image compositions are useful in analyzing the interactions in an image to study artists and their artworks. In this work, we attempt to automate this process using the existing state of the art machine learning techniques. Our approach focuses on two central themes of image composition: (a) detection of action regions and action lines of the artwork; and (b) pose-based segmentation of foreground and background.
