Abstract
While there have been plenty of applications of case-based reasoning (CBR) to different design tasks, rarely has the methodology been used for generating new works of art. If the goal is to produce completely novel artistic styles, then perhaps other reasoning methods offer better opportunities for producing interesting artwork. However, if the goal is to produce new artwork that fits a previously-existing style, then it seems to us that CBR is the ideal strategy to use. In this paper we present some ideas for integrating CBR with other artificial intelligence techniques in order to generate new artwork that imitates a particular artistic style. As an example we show how we have successfully implemented our ideas in a system that produces new works of art in the style of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Along the way we discuss the implications that a task of this nature has for CBR and we describe and provide the results of some experiments we performed with the system.
