<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Grasset">Eugène Grasset</a> (1845-1917) was a Swiss-born artist who was influential in the early Art Nouveau movement — designing everything from <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://madparis.fr/a-dining-room-by-eugene-grasset-1880">furniture</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.widewalls.ch/artists/eugene-grasset">ceramics</a> to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-33814.html">typefaces</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Stamps_by_Eug%C3%A8ne_Grasset">postage stamps</a>. (He's best known for his <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.meisterdrucke.us/artist/Eugene-Grasset.html">posters</a>, which defined the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.art.com/gallery/id--a4005/eugene-grasset-posters.htm">look</a> of fin-de-siècle French graphic design.) In 1896, he and a group of his students published <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://archive.org/details/planteetsesappl00Gras/page/n3/mode/2up">La plante et ses applications ornementales</a> (Plants and Their Ornamental Applications), a work of theory on the integration of natural elements into design patterns. For each of 24 different plants, Grasset created a <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/plants-and-their-application-to-ornament-1896/">series of illustrations</a> showing them from the most naturalistic to the most abstract, all done in precise lithographs printed by his students. They're lovely. This embedding is based on 30 patterns from <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10546212d/">La plante et ses applications ornementales</a> — cooked for a total of 300 steps on base SD 1.5: 16 vectors per token, a 0.004 learning rate, a batch size of 6, and 5 gradient steps. It can make some quite lovely patterns; with the right weights, you can also push them in a more naturalistic or abstract direction.Your ratings, especially of the five-star variety, are very much appreciated.
