| Representation in Art, in Theory: Truth and Art? | - Austin, in “Truth” suggests - Statements may be true or false—he adds “accounts”—but pictures cannot be either. They may, however, be more or less faithful. - And there are interesting cases in between eg maps. |
| Representation in Art, in Theory: Representation and Correspondence? | - “Representation” is a kind of analogue of “correspondence.” - Just as we might ask whether a statement corresponds to the way the world is—and so is true—we might ask how well a painting represents it object (and so how realistic it is). |
| Representation in Art, in Theory: Goodman's Theory on Representation (Part 1) | - Sense can’t be made of the idea of representation in art, at least not as we usually think of it. --> In short: There are two common ways to explain representation, and both fail. 1. Resemblance. - It is like it. Ex: A picture of a building is similar to the actual building. a) Resemblance is reflective and symmetric, but representation is neither. - Representing is not the same as resembling. Ex. A painting of me resembles me, and I resemble the painting. However, I do not represent the painting, I represent myself. b) Many things resemble but do no represent one another. - A painting of a building may look similar to a certain building, and resemble it, but that does not mean the painting represents the building. c) Any painting resembles another painting more than its object. - Physical objects can never be painted to reflect the entirety of the objects. Objects have intrinsic values, but paintings of said objects do not. |
| Representation in Art, in Theory: Goodman's Theory on Representation (Part 2) | 2. Copying. The problem: “The copy theory of representation…is stopped at the start by inability to specify what is to be copied.” - We cannot identify what is being copied with complete accuracy. Really, two ideas: 1) There is no singular way the world is. Instead there are many true descriptions of it. 2) “Nothing is ever represented either shorn of or in the fullness of its properties.” - It would be impossible to represent something/someone with all of their properties, there are too many. However, it is also impossible to represent something/someone with only a few of their properties. |
| The Representation in Art, in Theory: Representation | - “The plain fact is that a picture, to represent an object, must be a symbol for it, stand for it, refer to it.” - The question isn’t reproducing, representing, or copying. It is standing in the place of, symbolizing, or etc. - “[R]epresenting is a matter of classifying objects rather than on imitating them, of characterizing rather than of copying.” |
