Abstract
We focus on the development of artificial art critics. These systems analyze artworks, extracting relevant features, and produce an evaluation of the perceived pieces. The ability to perform aesthetic judgments is a desirable characteristic in an evolutionary artificial artist. As such, the inclusion of artificial art critics in these systems may improve their artistic abilities. We propose artificial art critics for the domains of music and visual arts, presenting a comprehensive set of experiments in author identification tasks. The experimental results show the viability and potential of our approach.
