Mapping the flow of painterly gesture
Abstract
We introduce streamline-based visualizations that manifest the detailed directional structures of painted surfaces by integrating local gradient information into continuous flow representations. Using Impressionist paintings as a primary case study, we position these visualizations as interpretive instruments that render the gestural production of artworks perceptible, comparable, and accessible to both scholars and non-specialist audiences.
