Synopsis
What makes pictures different from all of the other ways we have of representing things? Why do pictures seem so immediate? What makes a picture realistic or not? Against prevailing wisdom, Kulvicki claims that what makes pictures special is not how we perceive them, but how they relate to one another. This not only provides some new answers to old questions, but it shows that there are many more kinds of pictures out there than many have thought.

Review
"[A] provocative book...more than amply illustrates his capacity for genuinely original philosophical thought.... In the breadth and depth of his coverage of this literature, his discussion is unparalleled. The account that results from this investigation is an unprecedented synthesis of the merits of these otherwise divergent views. For this reason alone, any subsequent work on pictorial representation will have to take his account into consideration. It may not be the last word on pictorial representation, but it will certainly remain a centerpiece of philosophical discussions of this topic for quite some time."--Zed Adams, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism"
