heh a decent point, but to be fair the task really isn't "make a picture in the style of <artist>" but "make a picture in the style of this one other picture".

I'm not particularly convinced an otherwise naive human could separate style from motif in such a limited setting. It mainly demonstrates that the network learns rather abstract characteristics of the original picture, to be possible to factor them out. Hardly a way to create new masterpieces, but a nice demo of computer vision advancement.
