With her distinctive high-gloss sensual nudes and cooly elegant portraits of high society in the Jazz Age, Polish Jewish artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco style and the glamour and transgressive vitality of post WW1 Paris. After stunning the art world in the 1920s with her showstopping work, which mixed cubist and neoclassicist styles, Lempicka fled to the United States in 1940 amidst the rise of fascism in Europe.

The Boston-based painter’s large, color-rich paintings begin with what he hears, not with what he sees. He says, “Sight and sound run parallel in our perception, and these works do not intend to confound the two. Rather, the interest is for the viewer to switch back and forth across subjectivity, allowing sound its visual memory. As a word becomes a sound’s visual placeholder, so these paintings become their portrait.”

Norfolk began painting as a teenager and earned a BFA from the College of William and Mary, and received his MFA from Boston University.

Alongside two historic works by Gammell, this show includes over 40 paintings by the Guild of Boston Artists, demonstrating the representational tradition.

A lot of people commenting think that removing nudity form the training is fine, as it just makes the model safe for work, but it actually hurts the generation of non-nude humans as well. Significantly. I use the f222 model as my main general-purpose model, because it generates better clothed humans than SD1.5. The f222 model is based off of extending SD1.5 to have more knowledge of nudity (so the total opposite of the direction SD2.0 went). This actually makes f222 better at making humans IN GENERAL. The f222 model knows a lot more about the shape of humans. It's not perfect, but what f222 needs is just even more body types and ugly folks, but it's not completely lacking in the ability to generate those either. It definitely does have a bias towards pretty people, but it is not near as overwhelming as some of the other models.

Many of Casey Reas' programmatic artworks resemble things you see in nature—tangles of leaves, daffodils, bee colonies, algae—but they’re anything but.

To help further this exploration, Reas and his colleague Ben Fry (a principal of Fathom, a design and software consultancy in Boston) in 2001 developed their own software, called Processing, that bridges the divide between programming and art, making both processes more intuitive.
