Why not? Both could be "brute forced." Copies, sure. Scan the image and print it out. But originals?

You could have a giant database of paintings/novels rated by popular and professional opinion, and then you randomly plot colors/words on canvass/paper until it incorporates enough of the most highly rated concepts in said paintings/novels to be considered good. It would probably do for modern art which says everything you need to know about it.

And there are more advanced problem solving techniques than "brute force." Oh, I understand that, I'm just questioning what would be the algorithm to paint? We can't even do good word recognition or translations let alone something altogether new.
