Four years ago Nelson Goodman proposed an account of depiction as part of an elaborate theory of symbol systems in his book Languages of Art [1]. J. J. Gibson then radically revised his own long-developing account of depiction in an article entitled 'The Information Available in Pictures' [2] but he was vague about the relation between his and Goodman's accounts. Goodman however published a rejoinder to Gibson [3]. In Part 1, below, I shall discuss a claim by Gibson and its denial by Goodman. In Part 2, I shall show how Gibson's claim is superfluous to his account but that other of Goodman's criticisms do point to important differences between the two accounts of depiction
