How to

Clicking an artist's...

• name copies them to clipboard
• tags toggles those checkmarks
• star marks them as favorite
• 🎨, 🧑, and 🏞️ switches the prompt/image
• ✍️ enters tag-editing mode, see below

Permissive filter

• checked: artists matching any checked tags
• unchecked: artists matching all checked tags
• use unchecked to filter your favorites

Hide low-use tags

• checked: hides tags that match less than 3 artists
• note that all hidden tags are unchecked

Hide unknown to SDXL

• I've hand verified that SDXL doesn't know these artists' styles
• If you prompt with their names, the result will be unlike their actual style and generic, and you can achieve similar results by prompting "a painting", etc.
• They're included in the database for the record of whar SDXL doesn't know, but the images may be removed.

When using Stable Diffusion

• Reproduce these styles with the prompt with "by {Artist full name}, ...."
• Adding the style tags to the prompt can also help
• You can combine the styles of two are more artists

✍️ Tag-editing is only for offline use!

• If you are viewing this from Hugging Face, your tag edits won't be applied. They'll be saved and applied if you've downloaded the repository and are viewing your local file. In both cases, your edits will be available for export 📥 as text. If you want to suggestions for tag improvements for everyone's benefit, then edit tags, copy the text from 📥, and post it as a comment to Hugging Face. I will incorporate accurate edits ASAP. Thank you for contributing!

Disclaimers

• This tools is just for fun. This information NOT be correct! The tags are from a mix of sources and manual input. Many tags are AI generated. I make corrections when I happen to spot them or when submitted.
• Remember, SDXL is only a crude imitation of these artists. Check out these artists' actual artwork for more inspiration!
• This database has more straight white male artists than in the actual population. That's because they've been favored by art-collectors, past and present. Please suggest artists I should add.
• My code doesn't use cookies and sends nothing to any server. But it's hosted on Huggingface, and I can't control if they cookie you
• Open source. Creatives Commons license. Download for free.
• I don't get nor do I want compensation for this
• I'm not affiliated with Stability AI
• Use at your own risk 🧟

Why do many images show a car?

• It's an artifact of the way SDXL was trained. It appears consistently, but not always, for any prompt doesn't include a specific subject. Surprisingly, the car appears for many artists, for many different seeds, and for many different prompts and negative prompts. For example, I use the non-specific 🎨 prompt, "artwork image". I picked that intentionally to reveal the subject matter biases SDXL has for each artist. This artifact of SDXL probably reveals a bias of the model towards generating car images.
