If A Painting Of A Tree Was Only The Exact Representation Of The Original, So That It Looked Just Like The Tree, There Would Be No Reason For Making It; We Might As Well Look At The Tree Itself. But The Painting, If It Is Of The Right Sort, Gives Something That Neither A Photograph Nor A View Of The Tree Conveys. It Emphasizes Something Of Character, Quality, Individuality. We Are Not Lost In Looking At Thorns And Defects; We Catch A Vision Of The Grandeur And Beauty Of A King Of The Forest.
