Abstract

Computational art analysis has, through its reliance on classification tasks, prioritised historical datasets in which the artworks are already well sorted with the necessary annotations. Art produced today, on the other hand, is numerous and easily accessible, through the internet and social networks that are used by professional and amateur artists alike to display their work. Although this art—yet unsorted in terms of style and genre—is less suited for supervised analysis, the data sources come with novel information that may help frame the visual content in equally novel ways. As a first step in this direction, we present contempArt, a multi-modal dataset of exclusively contemporary artworks. contempArt is a collection of paintings and drawings, a detailed graph network based on social connections on Instagram and additional socio-demographic information; all attached to 442 artists at the beginning of their career. We evaluate three methods suited for generating unsupervised style embeddings of images and correlate them with the remaining data. We find no connections between visual style on the one hand and social proximity, gender, and nationality on the other.

Fußnoten
6
Images available on artists dedicated webpages are generally of high resolution and only depict their work. Contrary to Instagram, which limits the image resolution by default to \(1080\times 1080\) pixels and where the images uploaded by the artists were often noisy; e.g. taken from a larger distance or of artwork surrounded by objects. Cropping away unnecessary content further reduced the image size.
 
7
Two Instagram accounts were deleted or renamed during the data collection process so only their image data is available.
