A blog related to original AI artworks. I make AI artworks using coined words and emoji as prompts.

Diverse Images Generated by AI in “...ssionism”

When providing variations of the spellings for “Impressionism” and “Expressionism” such as “Pressionism”, “Ressionism”, “Ssionism”, or their modified versions to Stable Diffusion 2.1, it generates various images. By specifying the same word as a negative prompt, even more diverse images can be obtained, but that will be discussed in a separate article.

Pressionism

First, let’s consider when we provide “Pressionism” itself as the prompt.

Several paintings with strong vertical lines, similar to the one on the left, were generated, but there are also ones that do not have such lines, like the right one. Various intriguing paintings that are abstract yet clearly depict humans or stimulate imagination about the depicted subjects are generated, as seen in the above images.

The following paintings are more abstract.

With “Pressionism”, you can obtain many other interesting paintings as well. The painting on the left at the beginning is one of them, but let’s leave it at this for now.

Ressionism

If we remove one more letter to be “Ressionism”, we get the following images.

These images start to show a sense of depth in faces and other elements. As we approach a slightly more realistic style, the unnaturalness of the faces becomes apparent. Let’s look at a few more examples.

What did the AI try to depict in the top-left picture? It’s hard to say, but this picture looks intriguing. The picture on the right at the beginning is also generated with “Ressionism”.

Gressionism

If we replace the “P” in “Pressionism” with another letter, we observe various changes. “Gressionism” focuses more on cityscapes and seascapes.

However, it also includes portrait paintings. Although not shown here, abstract paintings are also generated.

I also tried “Bressionism”, but there was only one interesting painting.

Essionism

When I removed the “R” from “Ressionism” and changed it to “Essionism”, I obtained the following images for example.

There is a greater emphasis on portrait paintings. The top-left painting appears to have a Chagall-like style.

One reason why “Essionism” can evoke a different sentiment than “Ressionism” is because it shares the spelling with “Secession”, which means an art movement in 20C.

By further exploring new terms derived from “Expressionism” and “Pressionism”, such as “Shin-expressionism”, “Shin-pressionism”, “Ntixpressionsm”, we were able to obtain attractive images for each. Additionally, specifying these terms in positive or negative prompts also yielded intriguing images, but they will be covered in a separate article.
