Olympia (2023), an AI-assisted recreation of Édouard Manet's masterpiece, by AIroticArt

Our very first post on Reddit was our recreation of Francisco de Goya's masterpiece La Maja Desnuda (1797-1800). That was eight months ago, when generative AI was still relatively new, and we were still beginners. We have now turned our attention to another nude masterpiece, Olympia (1863-65), 130.5x190cm, by Édouard Manet, to show what is possible today.

Olympia is a famous painting that was first exhibited at the 1865 Paris Salon. It depicts a nude woman, "Olympia," who is lying on a bed. A Black servant is bringing her flowers. As Wikipedia notes, "Olympia's confrontational gaze caused shock and astonishment when the painting was first exhibited because a number of details in the picture identified her as a prostitute."

The painting is on display at the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, but will soon travel to the United States for the first time this coming fall (2023), on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York beginning September 24.

Of course, the painting was shocking when it was first exhibited. Her "confrontational gaze" and the details that identify her as a demi-mondaine (prostitute) seem to have caused a stir. The model for Olympia was Victorine Meurent, and for the servant, art model Laure. Conservatives predictably condemned the painting as "immoral" and "vulgar." But others commended Manet's honesty, such as Émile Zola, who said, "When our artists give us Venuses, they correct nature, they lie. Édouard Manet asked himself why lie, why not tell the truth; he introduced us to Olympia, this fille of our time, whom you meet on the sidewalks." A lot of discussion has been about the presence of the black maid in the painting, and what this says about race, slavery, feminism, the juxtaposition of black and white, etc.

To recreate this piece, we used many of the advancements in generative AI in the last eight months, including ControlNet, which allowed us to stay truer to the original painting than our recreation of La Maja Desnuda. Many details are still present in our recreation that are in the original painting, down to the smallest folds of the fabric (click the image to zoom in to the hi-res version). We also took some artistic liberties ourselves, such as adding pubic hair (why lie, why not tell the truth?), adding detail to the wallpaper, adding freckles, and many other minor details. Of course, our recreation is intended to be photorealistic, perhaps even giving us a glimpse of the scene that Manet was studying as he created his masterpiece in Paris.

We did leave one detail exactly as it is in Manet's original painting, with his original brushstrokes and all, and that is the slippers and toes. This is our homage to the great work of the master.

We are AIroticArt™, and we are happy to celebrate the nude human form in recreations such as these, as well as entirely new erotic content and artwork, assisted with this new generative AI technology. We hope you'll join us on this journey, exploring and unveiling the beauty that exists deep in the latent space (a term used for the deep neural network of the AI), and embracing the humans that we are, down to our bare skin.

Édouard Manet Paris 1832 - Paris 1883 “Luncheon on the Grass” 1863 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr In 1863, artists who were excluded from the Salon by the jury persuaded Napoleon III to grant them a space on the fringes of the official exhibition. Critics and the public who flocked to this "Salon des refusés” discovered this painting by Manet, which was entitled Le Bain (Bathing). It caused an instant scandal as it represented such a marked departure from the academic tradition of only depicting mythological figures in the nude genre. There are no goddesses from antiquity here, but two naked women surrounded by men in modern dress. The work was deemed to be obscene on account of its technique - which was close to a preliminary sketch - violent contrasts, and contempt for the rules of perspective.

Boy with Pitcher (La Régalade), Édouard Manet, 1858, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

X-radiographs have revealed that this painting is a fragment of Les Gitanes, a large portrait of a gypsy family exhibited by Édouard Manet in 1863 and 1867. Apparently dissatisfied with his complex imitation of Spanish Baroque art, he cut the original painting into three sections and reconceived this portion as an individual work of art. The artist painted out part of the head of a female gypsy, replaced blue sky with a dark brown ground, and extensively reworked the figure of the boy. He then renamed the painting La Régalade, which means to pour liquid from a bottle down the throat without touching the lips. Bequest of Katharine Dexter McCormick Size: 61.8 × 54.3 cm (24 5/16 × 21 3/8 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

The Smoker, Édouard Manet, 1866, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

This working-class character was one of many ordinary Parisians painted by Manet in the 1860s. A year before making this portrait, Manet had traveled to Madrid, Spain, where he was reportedly "enchanted" by the naturalistic depictions of common people painted by Diego Velásquez in the 1600s. Manet emulated the Spanish master in his own series of everyday scenes while adding a modern twist: elevating the images to the impressive scale of a formal portrait. This is a Louis XIV revival frame from the nineteenth century, a Gift of the Douglas and Mary Olson Frame Acquisition Fund. Frames of this style are characterized by their leaf and floral motif. Here these sculptural elements appear to be growing and reaching beyond the frame. Size: 39 1/2 x 32in. (100.3 x 81.3cm) 54 x 46 1/2 x 5 in. (137.16 x 118.11 x 12.7 cm) (outer frame) Medium: Oil on canvas

Daily #Art - Day 04-10-19 (2019) A Bot in a Bar This is a pen drawing remake of my bizarre insectoid robot drawing from my childhood (<a href="https://flic.kr/p/23aZAMj" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/23aZAMj</a> 1990), mixed with the bar tender and her customer from Édouard Manet's "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" (1882). Since today is the day we got the first ever image of a black hole, why not shamelessly mixed it in to the artwork? (#15,567 / #157 / #58)

Wait... something is familiar about this... isn’t that...? Yes, it’s an appropriation of Manet’s “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère!” Russian artist Aleksei Alekseevich Morgunov painted an homage to French artist Manet AND Russian avante garde artists in this “Portrait of Nathalija Gontcharova and Mihajl Larionov” in 1913 after his visit to Europe. Morgunov was a member of Russia’s first radical artist’s group, Jack of Diamonds and later Donkey’s Tail, both founded by Gontcharova and Larionov. Where Morgunov celebrated European modernism, Gontcharova and Larionov moved from Primitivism to join Russian Futurism. Of the three painters, Gontcharova was the most interesting, stirring up controversy in her day, joining The Blue Rider (Dee Blaue Reiter) group, designing sets and costumes for ballets, participating in the Salon des Indepéndents in Paris, and designing fashion. In 2007, Gontcharova’s painting, “Picking Apples”- 1909, set an auction record for a female artist at $9.8 million. #Manet #ÉdouardManet #FoliesBergère #AlekseiAlekseevichMorgunov #NathalijaGontcharova #NataliaGontcharova #MihajlLarionov #mikhaillarionov #ArtInstituteOfChicago #AIC #MuséedOrsay #RussianModerism #RussianArt #TheBlueRider #DerBlaueReiter ##20thCenturyArt #Portrait #DoublePortrait #Impressionism #ArtOfInstagram #ArtHistory #HistoryOfArt #ArtOfTheDay #art_encounters (at The Art Institute of Chicago)
