ABSTRACT
Impressionism is one of the greatest arts beloved by people all over the world. One of the artistic appealing is their specific brightness and color touch, but the aesthetic appealing of Impressionist color is still unveiled. In this research, we use Self Organized Criticality (SOC) theory to extract one of their aesthetic appealing. We propose a statistical analysis of Impressionist colors applying Zipf's law, which is one of the phenomena of SOC. We examine large number of paintings, mainly 19th century western art, such as Impressionism, Realism, Romanticism, and others. The result shows the color distributions of Impressionist paintings tend to follow Zipf's law, statistically significant at a level of 0.05.In other words, Impressionist color is significant relationship with SOC. Based on this finding, we extract "fractal dimension" of color distribution used in the paintings, and then estimate the number of palette colors used in the painting with X 2 Fitting. The fractal dimension and the palette color we proposed will be useful for characterizing Impressionist color.

Dynamic brush stroke generation for an impressionist effect
ICCSA'06: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Computational Science and Its Applications - Volume Part IWe propose dynamic brush stroke generation for an impressionist effect of source images, using reference data. Colors used are formed by actual palette colors from artists. To create the palette, we have referred mostly to colors used in Van Gogh’s ...
