Spectacular Image Stylization using CLIP and DALL-E

As a Style Transfer Dude, I can say that this is super cool. A statue of David by Michelangelo was used as an input image. Then it was morphed towards different styles of famous artists by steering the latent code towards the embeddings of a textual description in CLIP space.

I especially like Picasso's Cubism where it created a half-bull half-human portrait which is one of the typical sujets of Picasso. Rene Magritte's stylization is my second favorite.

I discussed similar techniques for image editing here and here.
