Artificial intelligence recreates the paintings of Pablo Picasso

Beggar squatting
Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. Recently we wrote about the fact that what AI is capable of today: faces and even writes music. And this, of course, not all. This time the eyes of artificial intelligence fell on the picture of Pablo Picasso “the Old guitarist”. But on canvas, appeared the silhouette of a seated woman. In 1998, scientists have looked under the top layer of paint in the picture and found the original drawing by Picasso. Today, thanks to we can enjoy this hidden works of art.
Paintings inside paintings
How would you do not like, but artists not so often surprise us with their works immediately after death, but sometimes there are exceptions. These include paintings by such talented artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso. The fact that these artists often painted on top of the existing paintings. It is known numerous cases, when specialists discovered under the final coat of paint, or even sketches .
To see the original image caused by artist on canvas, experts used a method called x-ray that uses x-rays and infrared light. This technique previously allowed us to determine that under two paintings of Pablo Picasso's "the Beggar squatting" and "the Old guitarist" was painted other works. Also In 2014 researchers discovered a portrait of a man, putting his hand on the head under the "Blue room" by Pablo Picasso (1901). However, the reconstruction of the image, carefully hidden by the artist, was a problem. Critics could only assume was like a work of art.
it looks like Picasso painting the Old guitarist
The Painting ”the Old guitarist” was painted by Picasso in 1903 — 1904. Under it the artist depicted a seated woman. Her left hand reaches to the viewer and right hand pressed to her knees. It is of interest that it corresponds to the sketch that Picasso sent to a colleague at the same time. So far, all that could be found in the lost picture — a faint trace of the outline of a female silhouette. Any extra detail — for example, the color and style — have been lost.
How the neural network to recreate works of art
However, using trained to distinguish the style of one artist from another, or (in the case of such artists as Picasso) to distinguish one period from another, researchers from University College London gave the painting a new life, recreating the original Picasso.
Portrait of a seated woman, discovered under a layer of paint.
The Basis for the neural network the method,which in 2015 has developed Leon Gatis from the University of tübingen (Germany), entitled the transmission of neural style. The technique of computer vision can determine the style of the picture and convert it in line with the style of other paintings. Researchers Anthony Buried and George Kahn has published an article on the arXiv pre-print server. In the study, researchers took x-ray images of the contours women and connected them to a neural network that is designed to convert images into style is La Vie (1903), another masterpiece of the blue period of Picasso.
Although the result cannot accurately recreate a painting created by Picasso more than a century ago, the resulting image corresponds to a style in which the artist painted his paintings in those years. The authors of the study hope that their findings will inspire similar projects to search for lost works of art.
