Tim nineteenth-century artist Richard Dadd, who spent most of his working life confined in the Criminal Lunatic Asylums at Bethlem and Broadmoor, is quite well known, and ever increasingly so, to the art world; his name is less well known, perhaps, in the sphere of psychiatric history. Dadd was born at Chatham in 1817, the third son and fourth child of Robert Dadd, who owned a chemist's busines...

Consider the following probabilistic one-player game: The board is a graph with n vertices, which initially contains no edges. In each step, a new edge is drawn uniformly at random from all non-edges and is presented to the player, henceforth called Painter. Painter must assign one of r available colors to each edge immediately, where r ≥ 2 is a fixed integer. The game is over as soon as a mono...

The main purpose of the paper is linguistic analysis poetic works that refer to Rembrandt’s painting Anatomy Lesson Dr. Tulp in different ways, but also with intensity. ways were extracted translating painter’s signs into signs, and methods presented by which stylistics, craftsmanship concept artist‑painter can be conveyed through words. One objectives work was determine commonalities differenc...

In this paper we describe the problem of painter classification, and propose a novel approach based on deep convolutional autoencoder neural networks. While previous approaches relied on image processing and manual feature extraction from paintings, our approach operates on the raw pixel level, without any preprocessing or manual feature extraction. We first train a deep convolutional autoencod...

Hallucinatory inspiration Visual migrainous hallucinations have provided inspiration for others. Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, is known to have suffered from migraine and is thought to have used his migrainous disturbances of body image as inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.'0 Atkinson and Appenzeller described a patient who had migraine who painted her complex v...

A new scheme for painterly rendering (NPR) has been developed. This scheme is based on visual perception, in particular the multi-scale line/edge representation in the visual cortex. The Amateur Painter (TAP) is the user interface on top of the rendering scheme. It allows to (semi)automatically create paintings from photographs, with different types of brush strokes and colour manipulations. In...

The application of cytogenetic techniques to studies of radiation effects gives a measure of the physical damage to the chromosomes. Such qualitative and quantitative measures of the chromosomal damage and correlation of these results with genetic tests are necessary for the detection and separation of mutational pattern differences in various types of germ cells or mutational pattern differenc...

A definition of pictorial style in terms of distinctive combinations of pictorial devices characteristic of a particular culture or period or the work of an individual artist is proposed. Four kinds of pictorial structure are described: the drawing (spatial) systems, the denotation systems, the mark systems and the attributes systems. Three pictures by Poussin, Rembrandt and the Achilles painte...
