Subject: Re: representation and its sgnification

I've been catching up on recent postings, and my overriding impression is 
that terms like 'signify', 'represent', 'mean', 'stand for', 'sign' are 
regularly what I'll call "facade" words, or "nesting doll" words, but that's 
entail a long argument. One narrow but, for me intriguing, question came to 
mind. My feeble visualizing ability aside, why do I find it hard to imagine any 
painting of Abraham Lincoln having the impact on me that some of his 
photographs do?
