Although depiction plays as important a role as language in contemporary culture and communication, its function is relatively poorly understood.

It addresses a wide range of philosophical issues, concerning the nature and value of depiction, the role of our perceptual processes in interpreting pictures, and the role of depiction in everyday communication.
