>Not surprisingly, those artists is not predominantly painting (e.g. Josph Beuys) or is predominantly linear (Audrey Beardly) do not fare so well.

To my untrained eye, these both look pretty good.

I agree, they are nice results. But Joseph Beuys is better known for performance art. In his most famous piece, he covered himself in gold foil, and explained art to a dead hare (below). To my mind, it makes little sense to apply this method to his art.

The Audrey Beardly results are a bit better, but if I wanted Beardly-ish drawings I would likely be disappointed. Beardly's lines were very fine... 'filigree', like a spider crawling over the paper, and he almost never made art in colour. Also, a lot of his work was as sexy as hell. NSFW last link (bottom of page) for relatively mild examples.
