The painter library, cross-referenced.

85painters placed on six axes. Each card shows the painter's position and the three painters closest to them in vector space. Click any name for the long entry.

Or read how the masters painted, an index of each one’s signature method.

The six axes: Observational Fidelity ↔ Inventive Construction, Procedural Discipline ↔ Improvisational Flow, Sustained Effort ↔ Session Fluency, Structural Emphasis ↔ Chromatic Emphasis, Public Standard ↔ Private Studio, and Direct ↔ Layered. They are exploratory and under active calibration. Treat the neighbor graph as a conversation, not a taxonomy.
