Understanding Resemblance in Depiction: What Can we Learn from Wittgenstein?
Wittgenstein’s remarks on “seeing-as” have influenced several scholars working on depiction.

My hypothesis is that certain of Wittgenstein’s claims both in the Tractatus and in his later writings resonate well within the context of an objective resemblance account of depiction (Hyman, 2006). |
