In the new Canvas effect, artificial intelligence matches a famous painting or sculpture from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the photo, so that the user create art pictures.
With the help of face recognition technology, an art photo is obtained - a double image of a person and a work of art. The Canvas effect has already become popular in photo editing applications - bloggers and celebrities share their images. Similar images can be seen in the social networks of the world-famous fashion brands Louis Vuitton, Dior and Dolce & Gabbana.
Over 6,000 experiments with face angles and face shapes were made to achieve the perfect combination. To train a neural network that selects paintings and sculptures for images, we collected over 2,000 pieces of art. There are many different styles in Canvas: Renaissance, Impressionism, Rococo, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Art Nouveau, Modernism, Post-Impressionism, Engraving. The database includes high quality images selected by our team of moderators from free sources and paid libraries. In the near future, 4000 more works of art will appear in Canvas for creating art portraits.
“In the idea of connecting works of art and photos of ordinary people, we are inspired by the opportunity to bring forgotten works of artists to life and show that creativity has no boundaries by time of creation, nationality, gender or age.
Absolutely different styles, temporal eras and directions - and all this in one effect. Canvas fuses art and technology to offer a new art take on the selfie or portrait. We have long seen the growing interest of app users in art, today it is an uptrend. Many who are now in forced self-isolation lack creative self-realization, someone just wants to diversify this endless groundhog day and brighten up quarantine everyday life. We could not imagine that by the time Canvas was launched, the circumstances in the world would be such that most of our users would be deprived of the opportunity to visit museums and galleries. The coincidence with the quarantine turned out to be an accident, but we are glad that now the users of the application have the opportunity to enjoy art without leaving their homes,” this is how Tatevik Maytesyan, head of PicsArt in Russia and the CIS, sees the launch of the effect.
Classical and baroque photo editing has become popular on social networks during the period of self-isolation.
During the quarantine, the flash mob #IsoIsolation began, in which users reproduced masterpieces of art at home. In Russia, the challenge was supported by the Hermitage, offering to be inspired by works from its collections and post pictures on social networks with the hashtag #hermitagehouse in order to get through the period of forced refusal to visit museums together. We are also open to cooperation with art galleries and museums that are still closed to the public.

Photography consists of two components: art and science. It is thanks to the combination of these two elements that today photography has become a successful representative of contemporary art and, in particular, science art.
Having appeared in the 18th century, photography was very far from art and was perceived as an exclusively technical tool for solving research issues, preserving information about people and fixing the surrounding reality (portrait photography, photography in newspapers, etc.). Many of the first photographers never called themselves artists - they were scientists and engineers, chemists, astronomers, botanists. For them, photography was an observational tool. It was the outward objectivity of photography and its technical origin that removed it from the possibility of being called a work of art. And with the advent of photography, artists began to strive for a different image of the world around them, laying the primacy of the idea and the secondary nature of the means of its expression. But at the same time, a new form of image creation still attracted people with experience in the field of painting and art in general, for example, Louis Daguerre and Nadar.
One of the reasons why early photographs were not considered as works of art is, simply put, that they did not look like art: no other form of depiction has such a serious level of detail.
The American inventor Samuel Morse said that such a fine detailing of reality could not be conceived.
However, in the 19th century, thanks to the active work of photo artists, who nevertheless perceived photography as art and made a lot of efforts to improve its position, the photo gets a chance to be inscribed in the orbit of “real art”. They used different photo development techniques, overlaid several negatives by hand, and they succeeded... They managed to create a picture with the help of technical equipment. It was with the picture that a series of photographs was associated, created through various manipulations of photo artists.
In the 20th century, however, photo artists achieve success and begin serious exhibition activities.
"In our era, there is no work of art that would be contemplated so carefully as one's own photograph, photographs of close relatives and friends, beloved" . (c) Alfred Lichtwark, 1907
Photography receives recognition from artists and critics.
The American art critic Clement Greenberg wrote in 1946 that photography is the most transparent of artistic mediums. During this period, the objectivity of photography, on the contrary, becomes an argument in favor of art. The photo artist, not having a wide range of tools for conveying ideas, was limited only by reality. And he had to think over the creation of his art object with incredible care, do a great job, be just a genius in order to fully convey the main idea embedded in the work. Conceptualism served well for the representation of photography in art, pushing the "dogmas of classical art" to the margins.
Having gone such a long way from science to art, today photography is actively used in science art. And it is one of the most frequent and convenient ways to create such art objects.
Biologists, chemists, doctors, physicists, astronomers most often turn to photography. Thanks to macro photography, multimillion-dollar magnification, it becomes possible for them to show people what no one has ever seen and hardly imagined.
Be it a crystal lattice, a cell shell or distant galaxies. Such photographs fascinate and take you to the fantastic world of unimaginable science. Reflecting that very objective picture, photography is capable, thanks to the idea of a photographer, to create for the viewer an absolutely new universe of the unknown and beautiful.
Helen Paynor, BA in Biology, Photography and Installation, and Ph.D., has been involved in the art of photography for a long time. Today she is a famous artist. In her doctoral dissertation, Helen was looking for an interconnection or even a reconciliation between the materialistic and the cultural, the spiritual in the human body. This leitmotif is also observed in creative work, opposition and at the same time the unity of the material and the spiritual.
But of course, works of art in science art are created not only by scientists, but also by amazing artists. One of those is Dan Payton, who has been a photographer all his life.
