Heterogeneity in chromatic distance in images and characterization of massive painting data set

Characterizing individual painters.
(a, b) Growth in S of Mondrian’s and Renoir’s paintings, respectively, over the normalized careers of each painter. The slope a of the linear fit (dashed red lines) is 0.62 for Mondrian and −0.10 for Renoir. (c) The histogram of the linear slopes {a} of 1 326 modern artists who produced paintings in at least five distinct years. A few notable artists are indicated. The dashed line indicates the average slope (, a slight trend towards abstract paintings). (d, e) Painting samples by Mondrian and Renoir, respectively, highlighting their stylistic changes over their careers (All images are obtained from Wiki Art and in the public domain). (f) Singularity of paintings by seven select artists. The darker band indicates the range −1 ≤ z ≤ 1. (g) Histogram of the singularity of 330 artists with more than 40 paintings. The dashed line indicates the average slope ().
