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.
Zao Wou-Ki was a Chinese-French painter known for his abstract works that blend Eastern and Western influences. Born in Beijing in 1920, he moved to Paris in 1948, where he became associated with the Lyrical Abstraction movement.
