I'm a little bit sad that such awesomeness can be reduced to an algorithm. As my graphic designer friends used to joke, "There's a Photoshop filter for that!"

I'd be really impressed if a computer program simulated the -tactile- texture and gamut as well.

Mondrian's New York period paintings are deceptively simple. I've read a teacher's writeup of his student's efforts to recreate Mondrian's Composition (I think). Not easy.

Matching the palette, precise layering, bevels and edges. Mondrian's New York paintings were precise and subtle.

Here's a similar description (can't find the article I vaguely remember):

Two-year study of Mondrian's Victory Boogie Woogie in Gemeentemuseum Den Haag to be rounded off by symposium Thursday, 28 August 2008 http://www.codart.nl/news/338/

such a cool analysis. thanks!


In the same case, I could say that, because I can't 100% recreate a Pollock, that it's incredibly precise and subtle.
