AI Discovered a Hidden Painting that Pablo Picasso Concealed 118 Years AgoA nude figure hiding beneath the oil painting of Pablo Picasso’s “The Blind Man’s Meal” has been spotted thanks to the powers of AI technology. The image, referred to as “The Lonesome Crouching Nude” has been recreated by Oxia Palus after more than a century spent covered up. Its existence was previously discovered by superimposed X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging in 2010.The Lonesome Crouching Nude is from Picasso’s Blue Period which lasted from 1901 to 1904. The same image pops up elsewhere in his work, most notably in La Vie (1903). It's likely due to the fact that Picasso was a struggling artist at this point and had to paint over the image to save money.

Pebble Picasso: Portraits Made From Found Pebbles and Stones by Justin BatemanBritish artist Justin Bateman specializes in creating artwork using pebbles and stones found on site. During the pandemic, Bateman found himself stuck in Thailand - he was planning on staying in Chiang Mai for a week, but found himself remaining there for nearly ten months.So Bateman decided to create his pebble and stone portraits in various places around Chiang Mai that no one but the locals would find and appreciate."The farmer whose portrait I did was most perplexed when I showed him the work," said Bateman to The Sun, "He loved it, but he seemed confused as to why I did it. You can’t sell it, and few people get to see it live, so it’s a bit pointless… but that’s the point. A sandcastle or a snowman are just as important as Michelangelo’s David - even more important, because you made them."Image: @pebblepicassos#JustinBateman #pebble #temporaryart #ephemeralart #stoneart #landart #rock #ChaingMai #Thailand
