Hidden beneath Pablo Picasso's "A Blind Man's Meal" lies a sombre image of a woman curled in a fetal position. Known as his Blue Period, Picasso's works from this era depict the grim aspects of human existence, including poverty, solitude, addiction, and aging. Although these paintings are highly valued today, Picasso's popularity declined at the time because people did not want to hang such artworks in their living rooms. It is believed that, due to his limited resources, Picasso economized on canvas by painting over earlier works.

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging extracted the underpainting and AI trained in Picasso’s painting style then generated an image of what might have been. The iridescent eye candy rendered by the AI immediately beguiled me. Not consciously aware of my surrender to the algorithm biases designed to capture humans I began to perceive the emotion conjured by Picasso.
