Abstract: We report the first steps in investigating how we can use AI to study contemporary painting practices and viewer experiences, focusing in particular on the work of Luc Tuymans. We review first various possible aspects of painting that could be studied and point to some relevant AI techniques to do so. Then we zoom in on one specific topic: How is a viewer guided to the focal point of the painting. This is not purely a matter of visual perception but also of interpretation and meaning making. Painters deliberately create focal points based on sophisticated knowledge of human perception and interpretation. Inspired by their insights and practices we can use AI research to unpack the process and thus provide a more insightful characterization of how paintings are perceived and made, compared to statistically derived embeddings. We argue that profound challenges must still be overcome before AI systems handle the identification of focal points, let alone arrive at the rich interpretation s human viewers construct of paintings or other types of art works.
