[[Non-photorealistic rendering]] (using computers to automatically transform images into stylized art) has been a subject of research since the 1990s. Around 2015, ''neural style transfer'' using [[convolutional neural networks]] to transfer the style of an artwork onto a photograph or other target image became feasible.<ref>{{cite journal |arxiv=1508.06576|title=A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style|first1=Leon A.|last1= Gatys|first2= Alexander S.|last2= Ecker|first3= Matthias|last3= Bethge|year=2015}}</ref>  One method of style transfer involves using a framework such as VGG or ResNet to break the artwork style down into statistics about visual [[feature (computer vision)|features]]. The target photograph is subsequently modified to match those statistics.<ref>Jing, Y., Yang, Y., Feng, Z., Ye, J., & Song, M. (2017).
