  I can't express enough destain for AI with art and music. In a word soulless.

  As an artist working now fifty years, Rembrandt remains my idol and inspiration.

  I like Rembrandt's honesty in his art.  He never flattered himself, his wife, or the others he painted.

  Can you imagine being so wealthy that you just have two life-sized Rembrandts chilling in your bedroom? Unreal.

  The day i left for a trip i read a passage of Carl Jung's synchronicity. That night i lay in my hotel bed and was recommended this documentary. The next day i visited an art gallery and to my surprise i happened upon one of Rembrandt's self portraits. I sat there alone and really took in the painting and i felt lucky to be able to witness the work of a true master of Chiaroscuro.

  If you embrace A.I. as an artist you are sleeping with a knife tied to your jugular vein. You do not know the damage you are doing till it is too late.

  When I was in my late 20's, many years ago, I lived in Bavaria for a year. There I came face to face with my first "live" Rembrandt. I think it was at the Alte Pinakothek. It was a small, darkish painting of a woman- just her head and shoulders. At first glance I was disappointed by the seemingly dreary aspect of this painting. Silently I compared it to the dazzling play of color and light  of my favorite impressionist paintings. Something about the little Rembrandt caused me to pause. I began examining it: the brush strikes, the use of light, the way her eyes seemed to hold mine... In the end, without realizing, I ended up communing with the little Rembrandt for over an hour. I finally understood, just a little, what all the fuss is about. 😊

  Cutting of that masterpiece to fit through the door is UNFORGIVABLE. They should have cut the door opening!

  Great documentary. As an artist the use of AI in art disturbs me and I hope is not allowed to replace these true geniuses.

  His technical and compositional prowess as an artist is unrivaled. He had the ability to produce photo-realistic renderings a la the likes of a Vermeer,  yet had the wonderful ability to use loose and gestural painting techniques that showcase his style, personality, and artistic abilities all at once.
