Summary: During Picasso’s “Blue Period” (1901-1904), Picasso painted over a “nude portrait of a crouching woman” to reuse the canvas. In 2010, the new painting (“The Blind Man’s Meal” was X-rayed, revealing the unfinished portrait. In 2021, “AI experts Anthony Bourached and George Cann” sought to bring the woman out of hiding, “training AI to replicate Picasso’s brushstrokes using an algorithm that allowed it to analyze dozens of his past works.” Their accomplishment drew both praise and criticism. “The head of legal affairs for Picasso’s estate” said that the copyright to both works, the blind man and the crouching woman, belonged to Picasso; moreover, “a machine can never replace an artist.” Thus, Bourached and Cann have raised crucial questions about the intersection of art and AI: to whom does the art belong? What is the difference between art inspired by another, and art building on another?
