Nelson Goodman on Forgeries - Dictionary of Arguments
III 43 Even with trompe l'oeuil the probability rarely rises above zero, because to see a picture as a picture, excludes, to mistake it for something else. >Deceptions, >Seeing, >Art. III 103 No one can determine by mere looking at the pictures that no one has ever been able or will be able to tell them apart by mere looking at them. III 103 If you set the difference beyond the what is perceptible by mere looking at them, one admits that anything beyond this range constitutes a difference. III 105 And the fact, that I might be able in the future to perceive a difference which I do not perceive now, constitutes now for me a significant aesthetic difference between the two! This may contribute to the development of my ability. >Perception, >Distinctions. III 108/09 When in fact, no difference can be perceived, then the existence of a difference is based alone on something that can be proved (or not) by other means than looking at it. III 120 Def forgery: Goodman: the forgery of a work of art is an object that wrongly pretends to have a history, which is essential for the original._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
