Pictures’
Q1

transparent on Walton’s view? Why aren’t
paintings transparent? (Hint: it is a matter of
a difference in how they are produced.)
Q2
Why do we not see through mechanically generated
descriptions?
Q3
What is the role of the discussion of Chuck
Close’s Self-Portrait in Walton’s argument. Is
that part of the argument plausible?

sufficient for transparency? What do you think?
Can you come up with counterexamples (of your
own)?
