arXiv:2608. 14435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frozen image embeddings from models such as CLIP are increasingly used to classify paintings by art-historical style, with high reported accuracy.
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it investigates whether newer generative models are getting better at pastiching contemporary artworks.
Artistic image synthesis aims to recreate the expressive visual identity of a target artist, yet existing methods often fail to capture an artist's global style. Conventional style transfer methods transfer the style of one or a few reference artworks to a content image in a One-to-One manner, making them effective for artwork-level stylization but limited in representing the broader stylistic distribution of an artist.

arXiv:2606. 09855v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Korean folk painting (minhwa) is built from a small vocabulary of auspicious symbols, a tiger for protection, a pair of birds for marital harmony, a peony for wealth, that recur across many of its painted genres.

Abstract‑LoRA introduces a lightweight LoRA training approach that targets specific U‑Net blocks in diffusion models to improve single‑image style transfer. By refining block selection, adding more blocks, and using clustering‑based style abstraction, it better disentangles and balances style and content compared to prior methods like B‑LoRA. Experiments show that the method produces more harmonious artistic images while quantitatively preserving both style and content.
arXiv:2605. 09030v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Raw cosine in the 768-dimensional output space of the Contrastive Style Descriptor (CSD) is now widely read as an absolute, calibrated style-fidelity score for text-to-image and style-imitation evaluation.
arXiv:2608. 14405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Art style is a signature of professional digital artists that develops through repeated experimentation, reflection, and adaptation.
The paper demonstrates that persistent homology, a tool from topological data analysis, can objectively and interpretable distinguish artistic styles. It shows that PH can differentiate between artists from different currents, between artists within the same current, and can separate an artist’s real works from AI‑generated images in that artist’s style.
arXiv:2608. 06751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artist-grounded image generation requires more than appending an artist name to a prompt.
Abstract4D is the largest dataset of abstract paintings, containing over 120,000 images with rich metadata and multi‑dimensional prompts that capture perceptual attributes such as form, color, texture, and composition. The dataset is annotated via a hybrid human–VLM pipeline to ensure quality and consistency. Using Abstract4D, the authors analyze the semantic structure of abstract art through large‑scale embedding visualization and establish benchmark tasks for classification, cross‑modal retrieval, and text‑to‑image generation to evaluate AI models’ perception and reproduction of abstract visual language.
