Art history is important to reflect and help to create a culture’s vision of itself. Studying the art of the past teaches everyone how people have seen themselves and their world, and how they want to show this to others. Artificial Intelligence in art was not initially applied as a creator but as an impersonator. The technique is called style transfer and it uses deep neural networks to replicate, recreate and blend styles of artwork, by teaching Artificial Intelligence or AI to understand existing pieces of art.
