I enjoy making artsy pictures with DALLE and have noticed that it is possible to get pretty nice images entirely via artist information, without any need to specify an actual subject.
The below pictures were all generated with prompts of the form:
"A <painting> in the style of <a bunch of artists, usually famous, traditional, and well-regarded> of <some subject>"
Where <some subject> is either left blank or a key mash.
