To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Yasuo Kuniyoshi was a Japanese-American painter and printmaker known for his unique blend of Eastern and Western artistic influences. Born in Okayama, Japan, in 1889, he moved to the United States in 1906. Kuniyoshi's work often features whimsical, dreamlike scenes with a touch of surrealism, reflecting his cross-cultural experiences and personal vision. His art is characterized by a blend of folk art influences and modernist techniques, making him a significant figure in American modernism.
Yasuo Kuniyoshi's Midjourney style is marked by its surreal and expressive qualities. The artworks feature bold, exaggerated characters with large, expressive eyes, set against dark and moody backgrounds. The color palette includes vivid earth tones, deep reds, and muted blues, creating a dramatic and intense atmosphere. Techniques such as mixed media, textured surfaces, and layered paint are evident, contributing to the detailed and painterly aesthetic. The compositions often focus on central figures with dynamic lines and asymmetrical arrangements, evoking a sense of emotional depth and mystery. This style reflects influences from both Japanese art and Western modernism, showcasing mythical creatures and fantastical settings.
